12 July 2008 A deduction of 25% of the cost new ship or aircraft or Plant and Machinery purchased during the year was available u/s 32A upto AY 1987-88. One of the conditions for availing this deduction was that a Reseve called Investment Allowance Reserve was to be created out of the income of the year by debiting the P & L Account with an amount not less than 75 % of such deduction. The reserve was supposed to be utilised in the next 10 years for purchase of new plant and machinery by transferring an equivalent amount to the Investment Allowance Utilisation Reserve a/c.
