The Tribunal reiterated that the amendment enhancing the tax rate under section 115BBE is substantive and applies prospectively. Income surrendered in a survey conducted before the amendment therefore remained taxable only at the rate then in force, not at the enhanced rate introduced later.

The impugned addition was directed to be deleted.
