AR that the facts of the year under reference are in no way different or distinguishable from those for A.Y. 2010-11 to A.Y. 2012-13 and therefore, I should follow my own appellant orders for those assessment years and delete the erroneous addition made by the Ld. AO. The Ld. AR also enclosed the copy of my order in appeal no. CIT(A)- 12/ CC1/ Baroda/334B, 345B, 346B/ 14-15 dated 28/10/2015 and drew my attention on para 6 of the appellate order.

..... in favour of the appellant by Ahmedabad ITAT decision and my own decision in appellant's own case for AY 09-10. Thus and therefore, respectfully following the ITAT decision and my own decision in appellant's own case for AY 09-10, the AO's action of rejecting the claim of deduction u/s 80IB(10) is held unwarranted and unsustainable.
