Deduction under section 80-IA - Allowability - Rule of consistency -

Assessee claimed deduction under section 80-IA which was denied by AO on the ground that assessee had not directly entered into agreement with Government or any statutory body and thus the condition mentioned in clause (b) of section 80-IA(4)(i) was not complied with under the facts of the case. Held: Taking a consistent view held in assessee's own case ACIT v. Menzies Aviation Bobba (Bangalore) Pvt. Ltd. & Vice-Versa 2015 TaxPub(DT) 4372 (Bang-Trib), it was opinioned that the facts and circumstances of the case being the same for this assessment year also, assessee was entitled to be granted deduction under section 80-IA.
