The CIT(A) rightly allowed the Section 80IA deduction based on the total income assessed by the AO, including additions or disallowances. The books of accounts were wrongly rejected by the AO, and the CIT(A) correctly deleted the additions made on estimated gross profit margins and disallowance of expenses for certain vendors lacking substantive evidence.
