He therefore for the reasons stated by the A.O while disallowing the claim of deduction in earlier years, denied the claim of deduction u/s. 10B for the year under consideration. Aggrieved by the order of A.O., Assessee carried the matter before ld. CIT(A). Ld. CIT(A) decided the issue by holding as under:- 2 2 I have considered the matter.

..... red view the interpretation advanced by Id. A.R. is not correct. Income of every Asst. Year has to be computed in accordance with the provisions of the Act as existing for that Asst. Year. The applicability of the amended provisions has to be looked into and is to be seen whether assessee satisfies those conditions or not and whether it falls into charging section relevant to that Asst. Year. In our considered view the AO is duty bound to see whether assessee is satisfying the conditions laid down in the relevant provisions of the Act for that particular Asst. Year before allowing deductions of the exemption or the allowance claimed by the Assessee. The only meaning that can be attached to the proviso to section 10B(1) as substituted by Fin .....

..... equent years only on the basis of its satisfying conditions laid down prior to amendment by Finance Act 2000. Now coming to the question as to what condition assessee has to satisfy, in subsequent years.

..... foreign exchange and entire of its products are sold in India in Indian rupees. Therefore, the assessee will not be entitled to exemption under section 10B. Accordingly this ground of assessee is rejected. 9. Since it has been admitted by the ld. A.R. in the written submission that the issue in the year under appeal is similar to that of A.Y. 2000-01 to 2007-08, we respectfully following the aforesaid decision of Tribunal find no reason to take a different view. Thus this ground of Assessee is dismissed. Ground no. 4 is with respect to not allowing proportion deduction of Rs. 70,24,923/- u/s 10B of the Act. 10.
