Adjustment u/s 143(1) denying the alternate claim of exemption u/s 11 solely for non-filing of audit report in Form 10B was held impermissible, since the defect was curable and the claim involved a debatable issue that could not be adjusted at the processing stage, particularly without providing an opportunity u/s 139(9).
