M/S. Grasim Industries Ltd., Mumbai vs Dcit Cit Cir. 6(3), Mumbai on 23 June, 2023
126. We find that all the aforesaid conditions are satisfied in the present case for claiming
deduction under section 80-IA of the Act. As regards the submission of the learned DR that
the assessee has constructed a private siding for captive use, we find that similar
submission was rejected by the coordinate bench of the Tribunal in the case of assessee's
subsidiary company in UltraTech cement Ltd (supra), vide order dated 14/12/2021.
Further, even though the agreement was entered on 10/04/2000, and the operations
commenced in September 1999, it is pertinent to note that the parties to the agreement
have honoured the said agreement, and the rights granted therein were not revoked for
this reason and the said agreement was still valid in the year under consideration. In view
of the aforesaid findings and respectfully following the decision of the coordinate bench
cited supra, we find no infirmity in the impugned order allowing deduction under section
80-IA of the Act to the assessee in respect of profits from the rail system. As a result,
ground no.11 raised in Revenue's appeal is dismissed.‖
