COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX Appellant
V/S
Megha Dadoo Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This appeal stands admitted on the following substantial questions of law:

(2.) Primarily, the issue, which requires consideration, is as to whether manufacturing of "Route Markers" by the respondent herein (herein after referred to as the assessee), falls within the definition of "manufacture", entitling him to the deductions, under Section 80IC of the Income Tax Act.

(3.) The Income Tax Officer, Nahan (H.P.), during assessment of the assessee, for the Assessment Year 2006-2007, disallowed deduction under Section 80IC, so claimed by the assessee. The assessee took the matter before the Commissioner, Income Tax (Appeals), Shimla, which, in terms of order dated 17.9.2009, affirmed the findings recorded by the Income Tax Officer. Dissatisfied with the same, assessee preferred an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and vide impugned order dated 22.3.2011 (Annexure PA), findings recorded by the authorities below stand reversed, holding the assessee to be entitled for deductions under Section 80IC.
