2019 (9) TMI 142 - ITAT CHANDIGARHDeduction u/s 80IC - substantial expansion - claimed allowed 30% as against 100% claimed by the assessee - HELD THAT:- As gone through the order of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of M/s Aarham Softronics [2019 (2) TMI 1285 - SUPREME COURT] and find that the entire scheme of the Act relating to the relevant section i.e. section 80IC of the Act, and arrived at the conclusion that the definition of the initial assessment year contained in clause (v) of sub- section(8) of section 80IC of the Act can lead to a situation where there can be more than one initial assessment year within the said period of ten years. A newly set up undertaking or enterprise in the State of Himachal Pradesh would be entitled to deduction @ 100% of the Act its profits for the first five years and even thereafter in the case of substantial expansion is carried out by it, then the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which substantial expansion is undertaken becoming the initial assessment year. That in any case, the period of deduction u/s 80IC of the Act would not exceed 10 years. It is now settled law that even a new undertaking, which has claimed deduction of its eligible profits @ 100% thereof for the first five years, is entitled to claim deduction @ 100% of its profits thereafter on account of substantial expansion undertaken by it. Since in the present case the fact that the assessee had undertaken substantial expansion in the impugned year is not disputed, the assessee, we hold, is entitled to claim deduction @ 100% of its eligible profits even if it has already claimed deduction of its profits at the said rate for first five years - Decided in favour of assessee.
