    The basis of denying the claim of deduction u/s 10B of the I.T.Act is on account of the dictum laid down by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT v.

  10. Madras High Court · 27 Jul 2020
    Tribunal did not examine the nature of transaction and the issue as to whether the CIT(A) was justified in accepting the cause shown by the assessee to be a reasonable cause to be entitled to the benefit of Section 273B. The decision, which has been referred to in paragraph 8 of the impugned order, does not relate to the assessee. Tribunal referred to the said decision and allowed the Revenue's appeal and affirmed the penalty imposed by the Assessing Officer. We find that there is no discussion as to why those two decisions rendered by the Coordinate Bench of the Tribunal in the assessee's own case respectively dated 31.10.2013 and 22.7.2014 Could not be applied to the facts and circumstances of the present case.
