Case Study : Intput Tax Credit 5% and Output Tax 12.50% Particulars PSI 2013 PSI 2007 Eligible Investment 1,00,00,000.00 Unit in D+ Area EC 80,00,000.00 50,00,000.00 Time Period Years 10.00 7.00 Sales @ 12.50% Vat 5,00,00,000.00 12.50% VAT 62,50,000.00 Purchases @ 5% Vat 3,50,00,000.00 5% VAT (ITC) 17,50,000.00 VAT Payable 45,00,000.00 Quantum of IPS 56,37,500.00 11,25,000.00   Tax paid + 65 % ITC @25% of Tax Paid Maximum Allowed Disbursement 8,00,000.00 EC Amt / EC Period Disbursement BY CA ASHISHS ZANWAR

The tank of incentive is very big but the tap is small one. From the above example we can conclude that the new scheme is just like the picture shown beside for the units having output tax @12.50%. The tank of incentive is very big but the tap is small one. The earlier scheme’s tank was small but the tap was big. BY CA ASHISHS ZANWAR

Case Study : Intput Tax Credit 5% and Output Tax 5% Particulars PSI 2013 PSI 2007 Eligible Investment 1,00,00,000.00 Unit in D+ Area EC 80,00,000.00 50,00,000.00 Time Period Years 10.00 7.00 Sales @ 5% Vat 5,00,00,000.00 5.00% VAT 25,00,000.00 Purchases @ 5% Vat 3,50,00,000.00 5% VAT (ITC) 17,50,000.00 VAT Payable 7,50,000.00 Quantum of IPS 18,87,500.00 1,87,500.00   Tax paid + 65 % ITC @25% of Tax Paid Maximum Allowed Disbursement 8,00,000.00 EC Amt / EC Period Disbursement BY CA ASHISHS ZANWAR

This scheme is very useful to the units for which the rate of VAT / GST is equal i.e. In earlier scheme if the input VAT and output VAT rate is same then the quantum of incentives was negligible. We have seen from the above example that this scheme is beneficial to all type of combinations of input and output tax.

Procedural delinking of incentives under para 4.9 of PSI 2013:- The units located in “A” zone are eligible for only incentives as per para 4.9 of PSI 2013, it has become cumbersome to obtain separate Eligibility Certificate. The procedure to get incentives as per para 4.9 is being simplified by delinking the same from obtaining Eligibility Certificate. To sanction these incentives Implementing Agency should ascertain the eligibility of the application as per PSI -2013.

Yearly cap for the incentives as per para 6 of PSI-2013:- As per para 7.1(2), delay in commencement of commercial production will entail proportionate curtailment of incentives and the eligibility period. In this regard, a new para shall be added after above para as follows:- In such cases, the quantum of incentive per year shall be equal to curtailed incentive amount divided by curtailed eligibility period.
