Again, the CIT(A), vide order dated 10th November, 2005, reiterated that the assessee is not entitled to deduction under Section 80-O. The assessee again filed appeal before the ITAT vide ITA No.4785/Del/2005. In this order, the ITAT partly set aside the matter to the file of the Assessing Officer. The relevant finding of the ITAT reads as under:- 9. The assessee has again filed the appeal before the Tribunal on the two issues.
