..... of reassessment proceedings; and the second ground is against the decision of ld. CIT(A) that the reopening was based on mere change of opinion and hence, the order was bad in law. 3. Succinctly, the facts of the case are that scrutiny assessment was done u/s.143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter also called 'the Act') on 14-12-2011 determining total income at Rs. 2,27,120/- wherein deduction u/s.80IB(10) was allowed at Rs. 10,79,27,366/-.

In the second order, there was no plan for several buildings and hence it was the third plan dated 21-11-2008 which is relevant to the claim of deduction u/s.80IB(10) of the Income-tax Act.
