II.  Direct Tax Case law:

1.   Zandu Pharmaceuticals Works Ltd. Vs.  CIT, ITA No. 8 of 2007, DATE: 12.09.2012, Bombay High Court

Decision: In favor of Assessee

Section:   80IA of Income Tax Act 1961

Cases Referred: 

  •   CIT vs. Sterling Foods, (1999) 4 SCC 98 = (1999) 237 ITR 579
  •   Bush Boake Allen (India) Ltd. Vs. Asst.CIT (Mad), (2005) 273 ITR 152

Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case the ITAT was justified in confirming the allocation of Research and Development expenses incurred by the Head Office among the four manufacturing units on the presumption that the expenditure so incurred is for the benefit of these manufacturing units, when in fact such research conducted had no connection with the business of the said units, nor any benefit is received by them from the said research?

In the present case, the assessee is carrying on the business of manufacturing of medicines and ointments. The head office as well as the units carry on research and development activities and have their own R & D departments for research. Assessing Officer reduced the appellant claim for the said deductions u/c VI-A. CIT(A) and the tribunal upheld the assessment order. Further the tribunal held that the expenditure incurred do not pertain to manufacturing units and disallowed the expenses and it is also important to note that different units manufacture different products and carries out independent R&D work ie there must be a direct nexus between industrial undertaking and expenditure incurred.

The High Court held that an enterprise can s assign the benefit of research in favor of third party and that presumption of nexus between the R&D activities and industrial units is not well founded. The decision was given in favor of assessee and thus the case got dismissed.
