assessee :

Provided that where in computing the total income of the

shall be entitled to deduction referred to in this sub-
section only for the unexpired period of the aforesaid ten
consecutive assessment years :

Provided further that where an undertaking initially
located in any free trade zone or export processing zone is
subsequently located in a special economic zone by reason
of conversion of such free trade zone or export processing
zone into a special economic zone, the period of ten
consecutive assessment years referred to in this sub-
section shall be reckoned from the assessment year relevant
to the previous year in which the undertaking began to
manufacture or produce such articles or things or computer
software in such free trade zone or export processing
zone :

Provided also that for the assessment year beginning on the
1st day of April, 2003, the deduction under this sub-
section shall be ninety per cent of the profits and gains

undertaking, which begins to manufacture or produce
articles or things or computer software during the previous
year relevant to any assessment year commencing on or after
the 1st day of April, 2003, in any special economic zone,
shall be hundred per cent of profits and gains derived from
the export of such articles or things or computer software
for a period of five consecutive assessment years beginning
