The assessee has requested us to continue with the same disclosure till to the date of finalization & disposal of appeal of the Income-tax Department with ITAT, Ahmedabad. Therefore we have continued to show that claim is admissible, but the same should be viewed in the light of above. As assessee has defaulted in submitting the auditor’s report mandatorily required to be furnished along with the return of income we are of the view that assessee cannot claim deduction u/s 80IB(10) of the Act and, therefore, we find no reason to interfere with the order of ld. CIT(A). - Decided against assessee. - ITA No.1200/Ahd/2015 - - - Dated:- 2-3-2016 - Shri Rajpal Yadav, JM, Manish Borad, AM. For The Appellant by Shri S. N.
