ITAT adjudicated multiple tax-related issues in favor of the assessee. The tribunal held that efficiency gain amounts must be set aside for regulatory consideration, with no independent discretion by the assessee. The decision affirmed the statutory obligation to allocate 50% of excess amounts generated from overreaching targets. Regarding electricity tax, energy duty, and consumer security deposit interest, the tribunal consistently ruled in the assessee's favor, allowing deductions and rejecting revenue's contentions. The tribunal also granted higher depreciation rates for UPS and computer accessories at 60% and confirmed deduction eligibility under Section 80IA, noting that additions to income do not impact the unit's deduction entitlement. Overall, the judgment substantially supported the assessee's tax treatment across multiple disputed aspects.
