34 Clarification regarding eligibility of expenditure
pertaining to widening of roads eligible for deduction u/s.80-IA(4)(i) of the
Act — Circular No. 4/2010, dated 18-5-2010.

It has been clarified by the Board that widening of an
existing road by constructing additional lanes as a part of a highway project by
an undertaking would be regarded as a new infrastructure facility for the
purpose of S. 80IA(4)(i). However, simply relaying of an existing road would not
be classifiable as a new infrastructure facility for this purpose.
