Punjab State Industrial Development ... vs Deputy Commissioner Of Income Tax on 24 April, 2006
A careful perusal of Section 80M as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Distributors (Baroda) (P) Ltd. v. Union of India and Ors. r/w Section 57 would only suggest that while giving benefit under Section 80M, the gross income of dividend cannot be taken into account but an income calculated after making deduction as per the provisions of the Act (s. 57) has to be taken into consideration.
