Further issue was whether diminution in the value of investment is eligible for deduction while computing book profit u/s 115JB of the Act?

The Ld Judges after considering the facts of the case and decisions cited held that the tribunal correctly allowed the claim of deduction on account of prior period expenditure as it crystallised during the year.

Thus, department’s appeal was dismissed as no substantial question of law arose.

The copy of the order is as under:
