What is required to be determined is 'profits of the business undertaking'. In short, the profits derived from export have been equated with business profits of the undertaking in view of the statutory formula provided in Section 10A(4) of the Act. In view of the statutory formula available for determination of quantum of deduction, the expression 'derived from' used in Section 10A(1) fades into insignificance and the quantum of deduction is required to be determined .....

The grievance of the assessee concerns eligibility of deduction of export revenue subsidy, miscellaneous income and sundry balances written off etc. aggregating to ₹ 19.80 Lakhs for the purposes of deduction under Section 10A of the Act. 4. We have heard the rival submissions on the issue. 5. The assessee company is engaged in the business of export of software and support services. In the course of the scrutiny assessment of the return filed for the AY 2005-06 in question, the AO noticed that the assessee has inter alia claimed deduction towards export revenue subsidy ₹ 19,33,024/-, miscellaneous income ₹ 10,108/- and sundry balan .....

(2010) 194 Taxman 192 (Bom.). The issue is also similarly settled in favour of the assessee by long line of judicial precedents where the consistent view has been taken that such income arising as a result of business of export cannot be divested from the export business of the undertaking for the purposes of Section 10A/10B of the Act.
