..... sal but my question was whether any value of export goods is to be considered in the denominator for input-output ratio. Since common input is also used for exports, the ratio is bound to be unjustifiably higher if such value is not considered in the denominator. Ref my numerical example : Ratio without export goods = 1,00,000/ (75,000+5,000) = 125% which is absurd ! Does this mean, assessee ma .....

Now the question of second option under Rule 6 (3A) (i) (ii) of the CCR. .....
