67. Treatment of tax incentive cases:
1) Where any unit is availing a tax holiday on the date of commencement of the Act, it shall be treated as converted as the unit availing tax deferment. The balance period available as on 31st day of March 2005 to such units shall be doubled. The eligibility amount shall be the balance available to such unit as on that date. Balance period means the difference of period between date of completion of eligibility shown in the certificate of eligibility and 1st day of April 2005.
2) The units already availing tax deferment prior to commencement of the Act, shall continue to be eligible to avail the balance amount available as on 31st day of March 2005 and for the period as mentioned in the eligibility certificate.
3) The tax payable and the tax to be claimed as deferment for each period shall be the net tax (i.e. output tax less input tax) which shall be debited to the eligibility amount. (..)
(The words “Wherever the input tax exceeds output tax for a tax period and the deferment unit made any export sales or sales in the course of exports in the same tax period, the unit shall carry forward such excess input tax upto the month of March every year and shall be eligible to claim refund in the tax return for the month of March every year” deleted by GO MS No 2201 dt 29th Dec 2005 w.e.f 1-4-2005)
