CIT (A) erred in law and on facts in confirming action of AO in not allowing deduction u/s 10B on adjustment to Arm's Length Price (ALP) of export of services to AE since no convertible foreign exchange relating to increased profit is brought to India. Ld.. CIT (A) ought to have appreciated that the deduction u/s 10B was correctly worked out in the ratio of Export turnover to Total turnover as provided in the Act in compliance with the provisions of sec. 10B (3) of the Act. It be so held now. 3. Ld.. CIT (A) erred in law and on facts confirming reliance placed by AO on proviso to sec. 92C (4) for rejecting deduction claimed u/s 10B of the Act.
