Subsequently, the A.O. has reason to believe that, the income has escaped assessment as the assessee company was allowed excess depreciation on tangible assets @60% rate as against @25%. Therefore, notice u/sec148 of the Act was issued, where as the assessee company vide its letter dated 09.04.2015 submitted to treat the return of income filed on 27.09.2008 u/s 139(1) of the Act as due compliance of the notice and further the reasons for reopening of the assessme .....

Aggrieved by the CIT(A) order, the revenue has filed the appeal before the Hon ble Tribunal. At the time of hearing, the contentions of the Ld. DR are that the Ld.CIT(A) has erred in granting relief as the licenses are to be considered as intangible assets and depreciation rate @ 25% has to be applied and relied on the order of the assessing officer. Contra, theLd.AR supported the order of the Ld. CIT(A) and substantiated his arguments relying on the judicial decisions and prayed for dismissal of the revenue s appeal. 5.

Software is a special block of asset on which depreciation @ 60% was accepted by AO in immediately preceding years and succeeding years. No change without any specific reason can he allowed. Hence, this ground of appeal of the assessee is allowed. 5. The Ld.DR could not controvert the observations of the Ld. CIT (A) with any new evidence or information but relied on the order of the Assessing officer. We find the Ld.CIT(A) considered the facts of granting of deprecition@60% rate in the earlier and subsequent assessment years by the revenue, provisions of law, and allowed the claim of the Assessee. Accordingly, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the Ld.CIT (A) and uphold ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
