The conditions 2,3,5,6,7 we will be fullfiling. But i have following doubt for condition 1&4.
Condition 1: What is the definition of Reconstuction / splitting? We have an existing business & converting the existing unit only in 100% EOU, there is no other change in business. Is this Reconstruction / split?
Condition 4:- We already have more than 100 employees in that Unit, so they will be automatically employee of new unit. will this suffice or we have recruit new 20 employees?

The deduction u/s 10B for an EOU is available only up to AY 2011-12 or FY 2010-2011. If all the conditions mentioned herein are met the deduction may be availed for two years that is FY 2009-10 and 2010-11. However the following condition are not in existence – No condition as to 90% of exports sales, it is only that the unit should be Net foreign exchange NFE positive. No condition as to employment of minimum no of employees. That condition is applicable to a unit claiming deduction u/s 80I.You need not hire new employees. Condition of splitting of business - An exiting unit may be converted in to EOU, however for this the unit originally when started should not have been formed by splitting of an exiting business.
