Although the assessee has submitted before the CIT(Appeals) that Form No.56F was filed along with the manual return of income, however, the CIT(Appeals) has cast serious aspersions on the veracity of Audit Report filed along the alleged manual return. There are conditions in the date of receiving payments and date of signing of the report. Since the assessee has failed to comply with the provisions of section, we are of the considered opinion that the assessee is not eligible for claiming deduction u/s.10A of the Act. Accordingly, this appeal of the assessee is dismissed. - I.T.A. No.155/Mds/2011, I.T.A. Nos.1005 & 1006/Mds/2012 - - - Dated:- 31-7-2014 - S .....

For the AY.2006-07, the ld.AR of the assessee has contended that the manual return was filed within the time limit specified u/s.139(1) of the Act i.e., on 30-11-2006. Thereafter, e-return was also filed on 21-12-2006. There was delay of 21 days in filing of e-return as the assessee was not aware that the return had to be filed electronically.

As far as the appeals of the assessee for the AYs.2007-08 2008-09 are concerned, we find that the CIT(Appeals) has dismissed the appeals of the assessee for non-prosecution.
