6. Having heard both the parties and having considered their rival contentions, we find that the only dispute before us is as to whether deduction u/s.10B is to be allowed prior to the set off of the depreciation allowance and whether the unabsorbed depreciation of earlier years would form part of the current year’s depreciation. It is not in dispute that the assessee is eligible for deduction u/s.10B of the Income tax Act

24. The first question arises in these appeals is whether the assessee is bound to account for the profits on the sale of flats in respect of which possession was handed over by the assessee to the buyer, and the amount of consideration was also realized and was also paid directly to the bank. In this case, the ultimate registration of the sale document in favour of the buyer is not relevant. What is relevant is whether the construction of a particular flat is completed and the possession was actually handed over by the assessee to the buyer.

44. We have carefully considered the rival submissions in the light of material placed before us. The assessments in the present case have been made u/s 153A of the Act. Section 13A provides that in case a person against whom search is initiated u/s 132A of the Act then notwithstanding anything contained in sections 39, 147,148,149 151 and 153 of the Income Tax Act, the AO shall issue a notice to such person
