Issues:
Appeal against deletion of deduction u/s. 80IB by Ld. CIT(A) - Assessment year 2005-06.

Analysis:

Issue 1: Deletion of deduction u/s. 80IB

The appellant Revenue challenged the Order of Ld. CIT(A) which deleted the addition made by the AO on account of disallowance of deduction from Rs. 8,96,12,593 to Rs. 4,97,57,537 claimed by the assessee u/s. 80IB of the I.T. Act, 1961. The AO reworked the deduction u/s. 80IB due to the allocation of profits among different units. The Ld. CIT(A) allowed the appeal of the assessee, leading to the Revenue's appeal before the Tribunal. The Ld. DR supported the AO's order, while the assessee's counsel relied on the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision. The Tribunal noted that the issue was previously dealt with for the assessment year 2003-04 and was decided in favor of the assessee by the ITAT. The Tribunal upheld the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the disallowance made by the AO could not be confirmed based on alternative reasoning. The Tribunal found no illegality or infirmity in the Ld. CIT(A)'s findings and upheld the action of the Ld. CIT(A) on the issue, ultimately dismissing the Revenue's appeal.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal against the deletion of deduction u/s. 80IB by the Ld. CIT(A) for the assessment year 2005-06. The decision was based on the previous ITAT ruling in favor of the assessee for the assessment year 2003-04, supporting the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision and finding no fault in the Ld. CIT(A)'s analysis.
