ITAT adjudicated a tax regime dispute involving a taxpayer's revised return. The tribunal held that since the assessee was ultimately taxed under the old tax regime, they are entitled to claim deductions under section 115BAC(2) and (3). The appellate tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to reinstate the originally processed deductions that were subsequently denied when the taxpayer attempted to switch to the new tax regime. The tribunal's ruling ensures the taxpayer can avail of the deductions available in the original tax regime, effectively protecting the taxpayer's right to optimal tax treatment.
