....d. The contention of the Ld.AR is that the issue raised in Ground Nos. 1 to 4 are covered by the decision of this Tribunal in assessee's own case for AYs 2009-10, 2010-11, 2012-13 to 2013-14 vide order dated 30.11.2016 in IT(SS)A No.-19-22/Kol/2016. On perusal of the said order, we find the issue raised in this appeal by the Revenue has been discussed by the Coordinate Bench of this Tribunal and by following principle of consistency, confirmed the order of CIT(A) in allowing deduction u/s 80IE of the Act.

....sessment order the AO has held that making poultry feed cannot be stated as manufacturing as no new product of a different chemical composition or different integral structure was produced. Therefore he held that the business of the assessee did not involve any manufacturing activity. 2.3. Similar view has been taken by the AO for disallowing claim of the assessee made under section 80lE of the I.T. Act for earlier assessment year as well as AY 2014-15.

....Rs. 64,936/- and the balance addition of Rs. 7,53,461/- is directed to be deleted." 10. Admittedly this exercise was not done before the AO and with the consent of both parties, we deem it proper to remand the matter to the file of AO for his fresh consideration to recompute the disallowance taking into consideration the investments which yielded the dividend income. Thus, Ground No.6 raised by the Revenue are allowed for statistical purposes. 11. Ground No.7 is relating to deletion of addition made on account of section 14A relevant to book profit u/s 115JB of the Act. It is noted that the AO discussed above, added an amount of Rs. 8,71,415/- by invoking Rule 8D(2) under the normal provisions of the Act. Again the same amount was added b....
