ITAT allowed the assessee's claim for deduction u/s 80IA for development of infrastructure facilities. It held that merely entering into an agreement with the government or receiving payments from it does not disentitle the assessee from claiming deduction as a "developer" u/s 80IA(4). The assessee's activities qualified as development of new infrastructure facilities, following precedents. The department failed to distinguish the facts from favorable orders of higher authorities for prior years.
