The deduction has also been claimed for ₹ 3,86,090/- u/s 11(1)(2) of the Act, for which Form No. 9A has been filed. The reason for denial of this deduction by the Revenue authorities was only on account of a mistake made by the assessee in filing the income tax return in ITR Form No. 7 by not filling the deduction amount in the prescribed column which resulted in denying the deduction by the Central Processing Centre (CPC).

The assessee is in appeal before the Tribunal raising the following identical grounds: 1. For that in view of the facts and in the circumstances the Ld. CIT(A), NFAC was wholly unjustified in not adjudicating the ground so raised before it on merits and the Ld. CIT(A), NFAC s action in directing the AO in passing fresh order is bad in law and it may be held accordingly. 2. Without prejudice to Ground No. 1 above, the Ld.

Brief facts of the case, as called out from the records, are that the assessee is a charitable Trust registered u/s 12AA of the Act vide registration no. 36-T/WB-VII/78-79 dated 06.07.1979 and engaged in the activity of providing medical relief to poor. Return for AY 2018-19 was filed on 29.06.2018 declaring NIL income after claiming deduction of amount applied for charitable purposes at ₹ 11,60,122/-. In this return, the assessee did not claim the deduction in the relevant column prescribed in the ITR Form No. 7. Thereafter, vide intimation u/s 143(1) of the Act dated 21.05.2019, the assessee s claim was rejected and income assessed at ₹ 11,60,122/-.

The grievance of the assessee in the instant two appeals is against the finding of the ld. CIT(A) in not allowing the benefit of claim made for deduction u/s 11 of the Act at ₹ 11,60,122/- and also raising a ground that the ld.

We, therefore, under the given facts and circumstances of the case, are of the considered view that the assessee being a charitable Trust registered u/s 12AA of the Act deserves to be allowed the deduction of ₹ 11,60,122/- (6,02,569/- + 3,86,090/- + 1,71,463/-) claimed u/s 11 of the Act.
