This preposition of law is now squarely covered by the decision of the ITAT, Mumbai 'E' Bench in the case of S.B. Builders & Developers v. ITO (supra) wherein it was observed and held as under : "Held : Under section 80AB the income that is derived from the eligible business must be computed in accordance with the provisions of sections 30 to 43D, as provided in section 29.

.... computed in accordance with the provisions of this Act....". The section would have been differently worded if the contention of the Revenue is to be accepted. One would be ignoring the mandate of s.80AB r/w s. 29 it one accepts the stand of the Revenue. There is no authority given by these sections to ignore the effect of s.40(a)(ia).
