It is true that the benefit arising as per the Incentive Scheme for the benefit to the assessees at large and being beneficial, should be granted but in the instant case, the facts have not been clearly stated on record and something more is required to be placed on record by the respondent assessee as both the material facts, which the court wanted to peruse, were not available with either side of the parties - Matter remanded back - Decided partly in favour of Revenue.
