2011 (1) TMI 1275 - AT - Income TaxExemption u/s 10B OR u/s 10A - wrong claim by the assessee - technical mistake - Assessee is engaged in the business of software development - contention of the assessee is that the assessee is 100% EOU entitled for exemption u/s 10A and wrongly claimed the deduction u/s 10B and it was a technical mistake in claiming deduction u/s 10B - requirements of provisions of Section 10A fulfilled or not - HELD THAT:- We are agreeing with the department that the condition for allowance of deduction u/s 10A and 10B are stood on different footing. However, the department cannot thrust upon the assessee to avail deduction u/s 10B only. If the assessee entitled for deduction u/s 10A instead of 10B, that claim required to be examined by the assessing officer in all fairness. The issue of allowance of deduction u/s 10A though assessee made a claim before the lower authorities has not examined by the assessing officer. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the considered opinion that it shall be in the interest of justice to set aside the issue in the grounds of appeal of the assessee to the file of assessing officer with a direction to decide the issue in accordance with law The assessee appeal is allowed for statistical purpose.
