According to the viewpoint of the Revenue, the sale proceeds of the scrap was a part of the total turnover though the assessee had ignored to include the amount of sale of scrap, while computing deduction under Section 80HHC of the Act. At the same time, the assessing' officer excluded the profit on sale of scrap from the profit of the business on proportionate basis for the purposes of calculation of deduction under Section 80HHC.

The position is similar so far as brokerage, commission', interest and rent are concerned because these items of income are income derived from separate operations other than sale of goods, which constitute total turnover.
