In the current assessment year, the assessee debited Rs. 2,72,43,385/- from the revaluation reserve account and adjusted the depreciation arising in the said year. In fact, this should have been shown in the profit and loss accounts as a profit, which the assessee did not; but, however, adjusted to depreciation, which has the same effect. In fact, if the assessee had added on the said amounts to the profit, then under Section 115J [Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)] the said amounts would be allowed as deduction under Section 115J. The Assessing Officer, however, found that the profit having not been added on, there could be no deduction claimed. The Assessing Officer, hence, added on the said amounts to the profit for assessment under MAT. The first appellate authority and the Tribunal found that there is no ground to decline such exemption to the assessee, merely for the fact that the same was not shown in the profit. The deduction which is permissible under the Act could not have been disallowed. We affirm the concurrent findings of the first appellate authority and the Tribunal on Question No.3 and it stands answered in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue.

Now question no. 3 is only for consideration which states that withdrawn from the revaluation reserve account for adjusting the depreciation should be allowed as deduction while computing the book profits
