In Sahney steel and press works ltd vs CIT (1997) 228 ITR 253(SC) grant received after commencement of production is decided as revenue receipt because the grant was actually reimbursement of sales tax, water charges,electricity charges etc based on a subsidy scheme of Andhra pradesh Government.According to me the said decision has no global application since subsidy scheme of all states are not uniform.In other words if it is a capital investment subsidy it is capital receipt vide CIT vs P J Chemicals ltd (1994) 210 ITR 830 (SC)
