Income generated from sale of carbon credits won't be eligible for sec. 80-IA relief


Where assessee deputed some of its employees to AE to render services of commercial value, TPO was justified in making addition to assessee's ALP holding that a markup of 5 per cent should have been charged in addition to reimbursement of salary expenses by AE

Income on sale of Certified Emission Reduction/carbon credit which is admittedly a benefit arising out of business of assessee, would fall within definition of 'income' under section 2(24)(vd) and, thus, it is chargeable to tax

Even though income on sale of Certified Emission Reduction/carbon credit would form part of profit and gains of business, yet it cannot be treated as profit 'derived from' industrial undertaking and, therefore, assessee was not entitled for deduction under section 80-IA in respect of said income
