It cannot be considered as passing on of the benefit of additional ITC as the above discount has been given by the Respondents to set off the prices which he had increased and not on account of the benefit of ITC. Accordingly, the discount of Rs. 1,11,61,090/- claimed to have been paid to the house buyers by the Respondent cannot be held as the benefit of ITC and hence, the claims made by the Respondents in this behalf cannot be accepted.
