Issue: denial of startup tax exemption due to delayed uploading of Form 10CCB and discrepancies in tax audit.

Operative effect: the technical refusal of exemption was set aside and the CIT(A)'s confirmation of disallowance was overturned, restoring the start up's entitlement to the tax exemption despite procedural lapse.
