....O. On the other hand, the Ld. counsel of the assessee supports the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) and relies on the decision in the case of Manjula J. Shah (supra), Arun Shungloo Trust vs. CIT (2012) 249 CTR (Del) 294 and CIT vs. Smt. Daisy Devaiah (2014) 50 taxmann.com 234 (Karn.). 6.

Aggrieved by the order of the AO, the assessee filed an appeal before the Ld. CIT(A). We find that the Ld.

....case of E Net Infoways P. Ltd. (supra), the Tribunal has held: "Wrong punching of client code, requiring subsequent change in client code is rectified by the NSE, which has formulated rules and strictly implements them.
