The learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) erred in failing to appreciate that the ITAT, Special Bench, Pune in its decision in the case of Brahma Associates for the A.Y.2003 -04 had held beyond any confusion that the position with effect from assessment year 2005-06 would be different in view of the specific restriction brought into effect by Section 80IB(10)(d) which provides that the commercial use of built up area shall not exceed 2000 sq.ft or 5% of the aggregate built up area, whichever is less. 5.

The learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) erred in failing to appreciate that as the Brahma Avenue project is merely an extension of Brahma Estate project, which had been given approval on 06.10.2000, construction of the Brahma Avenue project ought to have been completed before 31.03.2008 and in view of the assessee's failure to complete construction before the above stipulated date, the assessee was not entitle to deduction u/s.80IB(10) on the profits derived from the project 'Br .....

The learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) erred in allowing assessee's claim of deduction u/s.80IB(10) of the Act accepting the asssessee's version that Shri. Ashish Ghai (Flat No.A-2/303) and Shri.S.C.Sharma (Flat No.A-1/902) were the tenants, when in the statements recorded in the course of assessment proceedings these persons had affirmed to be the owners and to have purchased the flats from the assessee. 5.

The learned Departmental Representative for the Revenue supported the order of CIT(A) in this regard. 13. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the record.
