The AO computed the market value of power under section 80-IA (8) read with its proviso and the explanation. He considered the rate charged by the Chhattisgarh Electricity Company Limited, Raipur (the Chhattisgarh-Company) for supply of electricity to the Board and held the market value of the power to be Rs. 2.25/- per unit for the AY 2004-05 and 2005-06; and Rs. 2.32/- per unit for the AY 2006-07. 24.

The rate of power to a supplier is not the market rate to a consumer in the open market. 32. In our opinion, the AO committed an illegality in computing the market value by taking into account the rate charged to a supplier: it should have been co .....
