The grievance of the Revenue before us is that Instruction no. 3 

rt

C ou

of 2010 dated 31st March, 2010 issued by the CBDT in respect of loss on  account   of   foreign   exchange   derivatives   is   subsequent   to   the   Apex  Court's decision in  Woodward Governor India (P) Ltd.(supra)  and was 

not   considered   by   the   Tribunal.     This   instruction   according   to   the

ig h

Revenue would govern the issue.   

In the present facts, we find that the loss was not on account of 

H

derivatives but are in fact losses and gains in foreign exchange relating  to   the   purchase   and   sales   transactions   i.e.   creditors   and   debtors 

ba y

outstanding as on 31st March, 2010. Therefore, the Instruction no.3 of  2010 issued by CBDT would have  no application  to the  facts of the 

B

om

present case.  In fact, the issue arising herein would be covered by the  principles laid down sby the Apex Court in  Woodward Governor India   (P) Ltd. (supra). 

7.

Accordingly, as the impugned order of Tribunal followed by the 

decision of the Apex Court in Woodward Governor India (P) Ltd. (supra)  which governs the issue, the question as proposed does not give rise to  any substantial question of law.  Thus, not entertained.
