The assessment under section 143 (3) was completed by the Assessing Officer determining the income at Rs.68,04,750/-. In the assessment order the Assessing Officer made additions which were contested by the assessee in further appeal. The first issue is with respect to Rs.1,07,94,108/- shown as income from "Service Charges" in profit and loss account. It was submitted by the learned A.R. for the assessee that the service charges consist of two components. They are (1) service charges collected from the customers for services rendered and (2) software sales. The Assessing Officer was of the view that service c .....

It was clarified that out of Rs.1,07,94,108/- an amount of Rs.95,10,970/- represents software sales and the balance of Rs.12,93,554/- is towards service charges. It was pointed out that sales tax return and service tax return reflecting the amount as sales and service charges have been filed respectively.

The department has wrongly raised ground No.4 as the software development expenses are totally different from sale of software with respect to which section 80IB deduction was claimed by the assessee. We therefore, find no infirmity in the Order of the learned CIT (A) and confirm the Order of the CIT (A) in allowing software development expenses as revenue expenditure and dismiss the ground No.4 of appeal raised by the department. 9. Ground No.5 raised by department is misconceived as the learned CIT (A) in para 3.3 of his order followed the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Liberty India vs. CIT (2009) 317 ITR 218 (SC).
