The ITAT held that the return-filing condition introduced in section 80AC(ii), requiring a return to be filed within the time prescribed under section 139(1), applied only from 1 April 2021 and was not applicable to assessment year 2019-20. Accordingly, denial of deduction under section 80P in an intimation under section 143(1) solely because the return was filed belatedly was unsustainable, and the intimation was annulled.
