The Revenue appealed against the CIT(A) order, challenging the deletion of deduction u/s 80IB(10) amounting to Rs. 13,26,78,901.2. The Revenue argued that the completion certificate from CMDA was necessary for claiming the deduction, while the assessee had only produced a certificate from the local Panchayat.3. The Tribunal noted that the certificate from the Panchayat confirmed project completion before the deadline, and the CIT(A) had rightly considered the Panchayat as a local authority u/s 10(20).4. As the Panchayat fell within the definition of a local authority, the completion certificate from the Panchayat was deemed sufficient for claiming the deduction u/s 80IB.5. Consequently, the Tribunal upheld the CIT(A) decision, dismissing the Revenue's appeal.This judgment clarifies that for claiming deduction u/s 80IB(10), a completion certificate from a local authority, such as a Panchayat, can be considered valid if the authority confirms project completion within the stipulated timeframe.
