Thus CIT(A) is found to have misconstrued the order of the earlier Tribunal None of the authorities have recorded their satisfaction that the assessee has created adequate reserve and the same does not exceed twice the aggregate of the amount of share capital and assessee having satisfied of conditions as laid down under Section 33AC of the Act, is eligible for deduction in that section.
