The Assessing Officer disallowed the exemption claimed u/s 10(10C) citing non-compliance with Rule 2B of Income Tax Rules, 1962.

Relying on this precedent, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, stating that the ex gratia amount was eligible for exemption u/s 10(10C) of the Act.Decision:The appeal filed by the assessee is allowed, and the compensation amount of Rs. 5 lakhs is deemed eligible for exemption u/s 10(10C) of the Act.Note: Separate judgment was not delivered by the judges.
