Tribunal upholds deduction under section 10A, allows cross-objection for section 80HHE.
The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal challenging the deduction u/s 10A for AY 2004-05, upholding the CIT(A)'s decision. It allowed the assessee's cross-objection regarding the non-claim of deduction u/s 80HHE in preceding years. The Tribunal emphasized the fulfillment of conditions for deduction u/s 10A and the absence of evidence supporting the allowance of deduction u/s 80HHE in prior assessments.
Issues: 1. Allowability of deduction u/s 10A for AY 2004-05. 2. Claim of deduction u/s 80HHE in preceding years.
Analysis: 1. The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the order of CIT(A) for AY 2004-05, challenging the allowance of deduction u/s 10A amounting to Rs.9,30,00,275. The AO had disallowed the claim of the assessee u/s 10A, citing previous disallowances for AY 2001-02 and 2002-03. The assessee contended that it fulfilled all conditions for claiming deduction u/s 10A and had not claimed deduction u/s 80HHE in preceding years. The ITAT, referring to a previous order for AY 2001-02, upheld the claim of the assessee for deduction u/s 10A, stating that all requisite conditions were met. The Tribunal rejected the Revenue's appeal, affirming the CIT(A)'s decision based on identical facts of AY 2001-02 and 2004-05.
2. The cross-objection by the assessee pertained to the non-claim/allowance of deduction u/s 80HHE in preceding years. The assessee argued that the deduction u/s 80HHE was never claimed and was only an alternative submission during assessment proceedings in case deduction u/s 10A was disallowed. The Tribunal noted that no evidence was presented by the Revenue to prove allowance of deduction u/s 80HHE in prior years. Consequently, the Tribunal allowed the cross-objection, stating that the assessee was not ineligible for deduction u/s 10A due to non-claim of deduction u/s 80HHE in preceding years.
In conclusion, the Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal regarding deduction u/s 10A for AY 2004-05, upholding the CIT(A)'s decision. Additionally, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's cross-objection concerning the non-claim of deduction u/s 80HHE in previous years. The judgment emphasized the fulfillment of conditions for deduction u/s 10A and the lack of evidence supporting the allowance of deduction u/s 80HHE in prior assessments.
