Belated filing of Form 10E did not, by itself, defeat the assessee's claim for tax relief where entitlement was otherwise admissible in law. The Tribunal applied a liberal construction to the filing requirement, treating the delay as a procedural lapse that should not override substantive rights. It held that the claim had to be examined and verified by the AO/CPC once the form was on record. The impugned order was set aside and the matter remanded for verification of Form 10E and grant of relief if found admissible.
