DSIR certification supported deduction under section 35(2AB) because the Tribunal applied judicial consistency and held that the Assessing Officer could not disregard the certified R&D expenditure without following the statutory procedure. It also sustained deletion of manufacturing-expense and R&D additions made on post-survey extrapolation, finding no abnormality in the expense ratio and no rebuttal of the factual findings.

For the later year, interest disallowance linked to a loan treated as unexplained cash credit was deleted once that underlying addition no longer survived, while other claims were sent back for factual verification.
