Section 35(1)(ii) IT Act | Weighted Deduction for Scientific Research Permitted Against Other Heads of Income When Business Income Is Insufficient : ITAT Kolkata
The ITAT Kolkata has ruled that a taxpayer claiming weighted deduction under Section 35(1)(ii) for scientific research may offset the full Rs. 1.57 crore claim against income from other sources if business income is inadequate to absorb the deduction. This clarifies that the deduction is not capped by business profits, significantly benefiting R&D investors with diversified income streams and aligning with the legislative intent to incentivize innovation.
