This has arisen because of the reason that in the raw material consumed by the assessee of ₹ 68,53,70,457/ assessee has credited of ₹ 2,12,63,638/ which is arising on valuation of dies..

Reliance Industries Ltd. reported as 339 ITR 632, wherein subsidy sanctioned to the assessee under similar Package Scheme of Incentives, 1993 was held to be capital in nature. The Id. DR has failed to controvert the findings of Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). In the absence of any contrary material on record, we uphold the findings of First Appellate Authority in deleting the addition in respect of subsidy received by the assessee holding it to be capital in nature. Accordingly, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed being devoid of any merit. 8. The ld. DR has failed to convert the findings given by the Tribunal in the said case. We do not find any infirmity in the impugned order. Accordingly, the same is confirmed and the appeal of Revenue is dismissed. 023. Therefore respectfully following the decision of the coordinate bench, we also hold that the subsidy received by the assessee in the form of octroi duty refund of ₹ 132,07,000/ is a capital receipt not chargeable to tax. Accordingly, we allow ground number 2 of the appeal of the assessee. 024. I ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
