Denial of foreign tax credit benefit - assessee could not file/upload the corresponding Form 67 on or before the prescribed 'due' date of filing return u/s 139 (1) - Revenue vehemently contends that the foregoing compliance is indeed mandatory in nature and the assessee's failure to this effect would disentitle her from claiming the impugned reopening HELD THAT:- The assessee on the other hand has filed the tribunal's recent order [2024 (6) TMI 268 - ITAT DELHI] deciding the issue against the department. This clinching fact has gone un-rebutted from the Revenue side.

Summary: Appeal against order under section 143(1) for A.Y. 2020-21 challenging denial of foreign tax credit under sections 90/90A because Form 67 was not filed/uploaded by the due date under section 139(1).

Applying judicial consistency, the tribunal directed the assessing authority to 'frame it's afresh computation as per law after verifying all necessary facts.' Relief as to interest under sections 234A, 234B and 234C was also raised. Final disposition: 'This assessee's appeal is allowed for statistical purposes.'
