Deduction u/s 80-IB(10) can’t be denied merely because Assessee uses “Project completion method”

July 20, 2013 2693 Views 0 comment Print

AO denied deduction u/s 80-IB(10) only on the ground that assessee engaged in business of construction had adopted ‘Project completion method’ instead of ‘Percentage completion method’ as prescribed under AS-7 (Revised).

Further, the assessee had followed the same system consistently for a long period of time. It was thus held that assessee must be allowed deduction u/s 80-IB(10).
