Rajasthan State Mines & Minerals Ltd., ... vs Acit, Jaipur on 30 May, 2017
In the absence of operation, the issue of payment of such damages
would not arise. It is only when the wind mill becomes operational on short
fall on the production such payment is made. Hon'ble Madhya Pradesh High
Court in the case of CIT vs. Prakash Oils Ltd. (supra) held that the payment
made as an liquidated damages for not honouring the contract for sale of oil
and deoiled cake, such income is directly derived from industrial undertaking,
hence eligible deduction u/s 80IA. In our view, the Ld. CIT(A) erred in holding
that such income is not derive from the business of the undertaking.
Therefore, we direct the Assessing Officer to allow deduction u/s 80IA on this
receipt. This ground of the assessee's appeal is allowed."
