The appellant has relied on the
recent Special Bench Judgment in the case of Maral
Overseas Ltd. Vs. Addl. CIT reported at 2012-TIOL-197-
ITAT-Indore-SB. In the judgment dated 28.03.2012, the
Special Bench of the ITAT has held that, "...In case of
Liberty India, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has dealt with the
provisions of section 80IA of the Act wherein no formula
was laid down for computing the profits derived by the
undertaking which has specifically been provided under
sub-section (4) of section 10B while computing the profits
derived by the undertaking from the export. Thus, the
decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court is of no help to the
20
revenue in determining the claim of deduction under section
10B in respect of export incentives".

2. Shri G. Baskar, the Ld.counsel for the assessee, submitted
that the assessee claimed deduction under Section 10B of the
Income-tax Act, 1961 (in short 'the Act'). According to the Ld.
counsel, the assessee is a 100% Export Oriented Unit. The
assessee exported valves and also earned management fee which
was incidental to the export of valves. According to the Ld. counsel,
the assessee claimed before the Assessing Officer that
management fee partakes the character of profits and gains from
business or profession. The Assessing Officer however, rejected
the claim of the assessee and found that the management fee, sale
of scrap and interest are not derived from industrial undertaking.
Referring to Section 10B of the Act, the Ld.counsel submitted that
this section clearly says that the deduction shall be from the profits
and gains of 100% Export Oriented Unit. Placing reliance on the
order of the Special Bench of this Tribunal in Maral Overseas Ltd. v.
Addl. CIT (2012) 16 ITR (Trib) 565, the Ld.counsel submitted that in
view of Section 10B(4) of the Act, the entire profit of the undertaking
is eligible for deduction under Section 10B of the Act. According to
the Ld. counsel, the interest on the fixed deposit receipt has to be
treated as profit of the undertaking, therefore, the assessee is
3 I.T.A. Nos.1055 & 1056/Mds/17
eligible for deduction under Section 10B of the Act.
