....al Processing Centre denied exemption under section 11 for want of submission of Form 10B. On appeal, Commissioner (Appeals) held that Form B shall be submitted electronically with effect from 1-4-2016 applicable for assessment year 2016-17 and as per CBDT Circular No. 273 dated 3-6 1970, CBDT had authorized jurisdictional Commissioner/Director of Income-tax to condone delay in filing form 10B, and Commissioner (Appeals) did not have any power under section 119(2)(b) to condone delay in filing Form 10B. Thus, Commissioner (Appeals) dismissed assessee's appeal holding that assessee had remedy before jurisdictional Commissioner/ Pr. Commissioner/Director of Income-tax for condoning delay in filing Form B and claiming benefit of section 11. It was noted that assessee was well aware that there was a delay in filing Form 10B, however assessee seemed to have not made any application for condonation of delay in filing Form 10B before concerned Pr. Commissioner/Commissioner/Director of Income-tax as provided under section 119(2)(b). Whether there was no infirmity in order passed by Commissioner (Appeals)-hold, Yes (Paras 6.2 and 6.3) [In favour of revenue." 3. The Hon'ble ....

....shall not be entitled to the benefit under Section 10B (8) of the IT Act on non-compliance of the twin conditions as provided under Section 10B of the IT Act, as observed hereinabove" It is evident that the appellant did not file Audit Report in Form 10B before due date in violation of Rule 12A(1)(b) of Income Tax Act, 1961. It is a trite law that if a thing is said to be done in a particular manner, it shall be done in that manner and its performance in any other mode or fashion shall be of no consequence Therefore, in application of the above decisions of the Apex Court and also the mandated provisions of the statute, the Assessing Officer has rightly disallowed the exemption claimed and made addition of the same to the total income of the appellant as per the provisions of section 143(1)(a)(B). 6. Considered the rival submissions and material placed on record, I observed that the Assessing Officer has rejected the claim of the assessee u/s 11 of the Act by observing that assessee has not filed audit report in Form 10B along with return of income. Aggrieved with the above order, the assessee preferred an appeal before Ld. CIT(A) and Ld. CIT(A) rejected the grounds rai....

....assessee, while filing the petition under Section 154 of the Act, on 22.03.2011, pointed out that the assessee filed the Form No.10 along with the Board Resolution along with the covering letter dated 01.04.2019. However, the mistake done by the assessee was to file hard copies before the Assessing Officer, and not filing the same along with the return of income, which they filed on 02.04.2019. Thus, on the date when the return was taken up for assessment, there was record to show that the assessee had intimated the department about the resolution passed by the Board of the assessee Trust and the statutory Form No. 10. Admittedly, the assessment was not completed under Section 143(3) of the Act and therefore, there would have been no error had the assessing officer taken up the copy of the Board Resolution and Form No.10. Thus, on the date when the return was filed, the assessee had separately filed Form No. 10 along with the Board Resolution along with a covering letter dated 01.04.2009. Thus, in our considered opinion, when the assessee was entitled to a statutory benefit, it would be incumbent upon the concerned authority to examine the admissibility of the benefit than to forec....
