The Court held the authority misapplied Circular No.10 by equating "filed" with "obtained" and by imposing an unduly rigid deadline of 31 March 2018. The matter was remitted with a directive that where the audit report/Form-10B was obtained prior to filing the return, the respondents shall condone delay and grant relief in accordance with CBDT guidance. en-us Thu, 30 Oct 2025 08:22:06 +0530 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 08:22:08 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93701 The HC allowed the challenge, quashing the authority's refusal to condone delay under s.119(2)(b) in filing Form-10B and directing reconsideration consistent with the correct legal test: Form-10B must have been obtained, not necessarily filed, before the return to attract clause 4(i).
