3. The only issue urged by the Revenue in these appeals is whether the ITAT was correct in holding that if a particular item is not part of 'Export Turnover' then it cannot constitute a part of 'Total Turnover' as well for the purposes of Section 10A ofthe Income Tax Act, 1961.

4. The said question stands answered against the Revenue and in favour of the Assessee by the order dated 10th July, 2017 passed by this Court in ITA No. 380/2017 (Principal Commissioner ofIncome Tax-8 v. Steria India Ltd.) i.e. in the case of the very same Assessee, for AY 2011-12
