1986 (12) TMI 37 - SC - VAT and Sales Tax
Whether any additional incentive can be given to the industrial concern?
Held that:- It is not disputed that the first Order namely, the one dated 11-4-1979 gave more of tax exemption than the second one. The second notification withdrew the exemption relating to purchase tax and confined the exemption from sales tax to the limit specified in the proviso of the Notification. All parties before us who in response to the Order of April 11, 1979 set up their industries prior to 21-10-1980 within the State of Kerala would thus be entitled to the exemption extended and/or promised under that Order. Such exemption would continue for the full period of five years from the date they started production. New industries set up after 21-10-1980 obviously would not be entitled to that benefit as they had noticed of the curtailment in the exemption before they came to set up their industries. Appeal allowed.
