2012 (5) TMI 640 - ITAT PUNERevision u/s 263 - Claim of deduction u/s 80-IB(10) - Held that:- The requirement of filing the audit report along with the return was not mandatory but directory and that if the audit report was filed at any time before the framing of the assessment, the requirement of section 80-IA(7) would be met. The Tribunal was also held right in holding that the Commissioner did not even call for any explanation of the assessee and the issue of fulfillment of the conditions of section 80-IA had not been part of the show-cause notice. Therefore, it could not form the basis for revision of the assessment order under section 263. The project had started prior to 1-4-2005 the definition of built up area as given in section 80IB(14) is not applicable and the built up area as per the DC rules of PMC was less than 1500 sq.ft. The Assessing Officer has included the area covered by the terrace in the built up area. The terrace is not includible in the built up area computed as per DC rules. Accordingly, the built up area of the flat is less than 1500 sq.ft. and therefore, the CIT(A) was justified in allowing the deduction as claimed by the assessee. Deduction u/s 80-IB(10) - Held that:- If the project is started prior to 1-4-2005 the limit of 2000 sq.ft. or 5% whichever is lower is not applicable and the deduction is to be allowed to the entire project. Assessing Officer was not justified to take date of commencement as 20/04/2005 which was date of revalidation. So Brahma Aangan project already commenced on 17/03/2001 i.e. prior to 01/04/2005. Similarly in respect of Brahma Majestic plan was sanctioned on 27/06/2003 i.e. much before 01/04/2005. We direct the authorities below to allow deduction u/s 80-IB(10) of the Act on account of both these projects.
