It was held that there being no assessment u/s.143(3), the question of change of opinion did not arise. The AO had jurisdiction to issue notice u/s.148 for bring to tax income escaping assessment in an intimation u/s.143(1) and did not render the AO powerless to initiate re-assessment proceedings. Respectfully following this decision of Hon ble Apex Court, this ground of the assessee is hereby dismissed. 3. Apropos to Ground No.2, the issue was in respect of sale of the wastage viz. Gola out of manufacturing process. The entire sales represented domestic turnover of the undertaking. Admittedly, it was not the export turnover as far as the re-computation on that ground of the deduction u/s.10B was concerned, the same was not disputed, however, an alternate plea was that only the income element on sale of Gola should have been excluded and not the entire sale-proceeds.

Further, section 10B(4) of the Act stipulates specific formula for computing the profit derived by the undertaking from export. Thus, the provisions of subsection (4) of section 10B of the Act mandate that deduction under that section shall be computed by apportioning the profits of the business of the undertaking in the ratio of export turnover by the total turnover. Thus, even though subsection (1) of section 10B refers to profits and gains as are derived by a 100% EOU, the manner of determining such eligible profits has been statutorily defined in sub-section (4) of that section. Both sub-sections (1) and (4) are to be read together while computing the eligible deduction u/s 10B of the Act. We cannot ignore sub-section (4) of section 10B which provides specific formula for computing the profits derived by the undertaking from export. As per the formula so laid down, the entire profits of the business are to be determined which are further multiplied by the ratio of export turnover to the total turn .....

Once an income forms part of the business of the income of the eligible undertaking of the assessee, the same cannot be excluded from the eligible profits for the purpose of computing deduction u/s 10B of the Act. As per the computation made by the Assessing Officer himself, there is no dispute that both these incomes have been treated by the Assessing Officer as business income. The CBDT Circular No. 564 dated 5th July, 1990 reported in 184 ITR (St.) 137 explained the scope and ambit of section 80HHC and the mode of determination of profits derived by an assessee from the export of goods. I.T.A.T., Special Bench in the case of International Research Park Laboratories Ltd. (supra), after following the aforesaid Circular, held that straight jacket formula given in subsection (3) has to be followed to determine the eligible deduction. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of P.R. Prabhakar v.
