CIT (supra) in respect of interest received on the delayed payments of prices of goods held by the assessee held the same to be part of sale price and derived from under taking and eligible for deduct ion u/s 80IB of the Act. The Bombay Hon'ble High Court held as under: Held, that what was received by the assessee from the purchaser was a component of interest towards delayed payment of the price of the goods sold, supplied and delivered by the assessee. There could be no dispute about the position that the price realized by the assessee from the sale of goods manufactured by the industrial undertaking constituted a component of the profits and gains derived from the eligible business. The purchaser, on account of the delay in payment of the sale price also paid interest to the assessee. This formed a component of the sale price and was paid towards the lag which had occurred in the payment of the price of the goods sold by the assessee. On these facts, therefore, the payment of interest on account of the delay in payment of the sale price of the goods supplied the undertaking partook of the same nature and character as the sale consideration. .....
