Since a sum of Rs. 20.98 crores had been shown as "other expenses" where 10% of these other expenses i.e. Rs. 2.09 crores were considered to be expenses made under Section 80-IA of the Act, this amount of Rs. 2.09 crores was held to be attributable to such exempt unit and the same was disallowed and added to the total income of the assessee.
