The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 80-IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, clarifying that the deduction under this section is available to an enterprise engaged in the generation of power. The Court held that the term 'business' includes the activity of generating power and that the benefit of deduction cannot be denied on the grounds of the nature of the business. The appeals were allowed, and the orders of the lower authorities were set aside, affirming the entitlement of the respondent to the claimed deductions.
