DATE -21ST FEBRUARY,2011 P.C. . The only question raised in this appeal is whether the Tribunal was justified in holding that the assessee was engaged in the manufacture of NC.Lacquer and hence eligible for deduction under Section 80 IA/80 IB of the Income Tax Act .

The raw materials lose their original identity and individuality and the end-product is known by a new identity. End products is used, sold and bought in the market by new name and it is physically and chemically different from the original raw materials. In other words the end-products are result of various processes that change their basic structures.” 2 Thus, the raw materials are subject to a process to obtain NC Lacquer which is a distinct marketable commodity. Even under the Central Excise Law NC Lacquer is a distinct product classified under different heading than the raw materials . 3 In this view of the matter no fault can be found in the decision of the Tribunal. The appeal is dismissed accordingly. No costs. (Mrs.Mridula Bhatkar,J.) (J.P.Devadhar,J.)
