The formula, as was existing prior to 1991 as stated in the circular, often used to provide a distorted figure of export profits when receipts like interest, commission, etc. which did not have an element of turnover were included in the profit and loss account and, thus, it was clarified that profits of the business for the said provision would not include receipt by way of brokerage, commission, interest or any other receipt of a similar nature. It was, however, categorically stated: ...As some expenditure might be incurred in earning incomes, which in the generality of cases is part of common expenses, ad hoc 10 per cent, deduction from such incomes is provided to account for these expenses. 8. The amendments in no uncertain terms were to take effect from 1.4.1992, i.e. for the assessment year 1992-93 and subsequent assessment years. Where, however, the provisions were to operate with retrospective effect the same had been categorically stated as, for example, in para 32.17 thereof, which is as under: 32.17.
