The brief facts of this issue is that the assessee has derived dividend income and had claimed the same as exempt income in the return of income and disallowed the sum of Rs. 30,57,783/- under Rule 8D(2)(iii) being 0.5% of average value of investment and also considering certain direct expenses incurred for the purpose of earning exempt income.

CIT(A) also made a passing reference that the additions to plant and machineries were made in 2 to 3 years time by the assessee in the normal way which are on account of replacement of old machineries.

..... For the purposes of this section,- (i ) "initial assessment year" means the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which the undertaking begins to manufacture or produce articles or things, or completes substantial expansion; [Underlining provided by us] From the aforesaid definition of 'initial assessment year', it could be inferred that the initial assessment year shall be the year in which the substantial expansion is completed by the assessee which would enable it to generate revenues and claim deduction thereon u/s 80IE of the Act.
