The revenue has raised before us the following grounds: “1. On the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the CIT(A) has erred in directing that all the expenses have to be apportioned between the Sale of manufactured products and Sale of trading goods on the basis of the Sales Turnover for the purpose of working out deduction u/s. 80IC of the Act without appreciating the fact that depreciation mainly pertains to the manufacturing unit and has to be adjusted against the profit on sale of manufactured goods. 2. On the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the CIT(A) has erred in directing that all the expenses have to be apportioned between the Sale of manufactured products arid Sale of trading goods on the basis of the Sales Turnover for the purpose of working out deduction u/s. 80IC of the Act without appreciating the fact that depreciation mainly pertains to Plant & Machinery of the ITA No.1665/Mum/2020 A.Y. 2013-14 DCIT,CC 7(2) Vs. M/s Anchor Health & Beauty Care Pvt. Ltd. 2 Manufacturing Unit, and apportioning the same on the basis of Sales Turnover will present an unrealistic picture as there is gross difference between the Sales Turnover of leading Goods, amounting to Rs.23.58 crores,viz-a-viz the Sales Turnover of the Manufactured Goods, amounting to Rs.305.89 crores." 2. The assessee is a private limited company engaged in the business of manufacturing of toothpaste, tooth powder, tooth brush, soap at their unit at Haridwar and is also engaged in trading of the same goods. During the year, the assessee claimed the deduction u/s 80IC of the Income Tax Act, 1961 amounting to Rs.7,82,47,342/- which were reduced by the AO in the assessment order dated 23.03.2016. 3. Being aggrieved by the assessment order the assessee filed the appeal before the CIT(A) the CIT(A) partly allowed the appeal of the assessee. 4. The ld. D.R submitted that the issue is covered against the department by the decision of the Tribunal in assessee’s own case vide order dated 16.09.2019 being ITA No. 1050/Mum/2016 for A.Y. 2009-10 and ITA No 1051/Mum/2016 for A.Y. 2010-11. 5. The ld. A.R reiterated the submissions of the ld. A.R. 6. We have heard both the parties and perused all the relevant material available on record. It is pertinent to note that the facts are identical in the present assessment year as the assessee’s explanation with regard to claim of deduction u/s 80IC is identical to that of earlier years. The assessing officer also on the same footing disallowed the claim of the assessee in the present assessment year. Therefore, following the decision of the Tribunal in the assessee’s own case we are dismissing the appeal of the revenue. ITA No.1665/Mum/2020 A.Y. 2013-14 DCIT,CC 7(2) Vs.
