Hi

My query is that my client directed and produced a short flim with co-producers in year 2006. He made a deal with doordarshan in 2014 for 3 years telecast rights and got 22 lakhs as royalty. Can I claim expenses incurred for direction and production of the film from this royalty income?

Please help.
