An assessment order was passed under section 143(3) on 28.12.2004. The ld.AO has made certain disallowance and restricted the deduction under section 10A at Rs. 25,52,65,186/-. Dissatisfied with the assessment order the assessee carried the matter in appeal before the ld.CIT(A) who has decided the appeal vide order dated 24.5.2005.

CIT(A) may be set aside and that of the Assessing Officer may be restored to the above extent. 5. The appellant craves leave to amend or alter any ground or add a new ground, which may be necessary." 5. The assessee has raised only one ground of appeal, which reads as under: "The following ground of appeal is distinct and separate and without prejudice to each other: 1.0 Ground No. 1: The learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) - II ['the learned CIT(A)'] has erred in law and on facts in computing deduction under section 10A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act') consideri .....

In the present case, if we consider each addition contested by the Revenue, then it would show that tax effect on each appeal would fall below Rs. 20 lakhs. The "tax effect" as per CBDT Circular is tax on the total income assessed minus the tax that would have been chargeable had such total income been reduced by the amount of income in respect of the issue against which appeal is filed, would be less than Rs. 20 la .....
