At the outset, it was pointed out by the ld.counsel for the assessee that this issue is covered in favour of the assessee by the decision of Hon'ble ITAT "C" Bench in ITA No.1690/Ahd/2012 for AY 2006-07, dated 21/02/2013. This fact is not controverted by the Departmental Representative. In view of this submission, first ground of Revenue's appeal is dismissed. 5. The second ground of Revenue's appeal is against allowing accumulation of income of Rs.59,17,000/- under Explanation-2 of section 11.

The contention of the ld.counsel for the assessee is that the option has been exercised and he has drawn our attention towards page No.8 of paper-book and also drew our attention towards page Nos.9 10.

As it is an option which decides taxation of income in two years, it cannot but extend to after the return has been filed. It would, in a way, mean revising the return through back door which is not permissible. Even otherwise, the letter of extra accumulation was filed only in November-2011, when even the time of filing the revised return u/s.139(5) has elapsed. This could not be permitted to be admitted. Therefore, the assessee was allowed accumulation of income under Explanation(2) to Section 11, to the extent of Rs.59,17,600/-. We have considered all aspects of the matter.

Taking a consistent view in this appeal also, we therefore following our observation in ITA No.32/Ahd/20s13 and the ratio laid in the judgement(s) of Hon'ble High Court of Jammu and Kashmir rendered in the case of CIT vs. Ziarat Mir Syed Ali Hamdani (supra) and of Hon'ble Bombay High Court rendered in the case of Trustees of Tulsidas Gopalji Charitable Chaleshwar Temple Trust vs. CIT (supra), we allow the ground raised in ITA No.2632/Ahd/2012. 8.
