CIT(A) was justified in directing the assessing officer to grant deduction u/sec. 801B(10) on pro-rata basis given the fact that non-fulfilment of a single pre-condition as detailed in clause (c) to Sec. 801B(10), shall dis-entitle the assessee from claiming exemption under section 801B(10) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.?" 2. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Ld.

(c) Assessee have claimed 80IB deduction only on building in which flats which are of less than 1000 sq.ft. area and not claimed deduction in respect of 3 BHK flats of D Wing. Various courts including Mumbai ITAT had already taken a view that in the case the residential building consists of flats of more than 1000 sq.ft and less than 1000 sq.ft., the deduction under section 80IB(10) should be allowed to the assessee on proportionate basis. In support of its contention that it is entitled to claim proportionate deduction in respect of units not exceeding 1000 sq.ft. built-up area, the assessee has placed reliance on various decisions of th....

....bmitted that the issue in controversy is covered by the decision of the Hon'ble Madras High Court in the case of Viswas Promoters Ltd. vs. ACIT 29 Taxman 19 wherein the High Court has set aside this issue in favour of the assessee. 6. The learned D.R. relied upon the decision of various Tribunals but when there is a High Court judgement we are bound to follow the judgement of the Hon'ble High Court. Therefore, we are of the view that the issue in controversy is covered by the decision of the Hon'ble Madras High Court which reads as under: - "Asessee is eligible for deduction under section 80-lB (10) on a proportionate basis in respect of those blocks which are of less 1500 square feet area * It is held that the Tribunal is....

We find that during the course of hearing the learned A.R. submitted the assessee has never claimed donation in its return of income in A.Y. 2011-12 or 2008-09. Therefore, when the assessee did not claim the donation there is no question of addition of Rs. 2,12,000/-. Therefore, we allow the same. Ground No. 1 is allowed. 12. Ground No. 2 is with regard to confirmation of the disallowance made by the AO of interest expenditure amounting to Rs. 32,18,400/- without appreciating the fact that investments were made out of own funds and borrowed funds were utilized for the purpose of business. 13.
