The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) held that the assessee is entitled to the concessional tax rate of 10% on royalty income u/s 115BBF, as the assessee had uploaded Form No. 3CFA before the completion of proceedings u/s 143(1) of the Income Tax Act. The ITAT set aside the order of the Additional/Joint Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Panchkula, which had rejected the assessee's appeal and directed the Assessing Officer to tax the royalty income at the normal rate. The ITAT directed the Assessing Officer to tax the royalty income at the special rate of 10% against the normal rate adopted by the Centralized Processing Center (CPC). The grounds raised by the assessee were allowed.
