The deduction has also been claimed for ₹ 3,86,090/- u/s 11(1)(2) of the Act, for which Form No. 9A has been filed. The reason for denial of this deduction by the Revenue authorities was only on account of a mistake made by the assessee in filing the income tax return in ITR Form No. 7 by not filling the deduction amount in the prescribed column which resulted in denying the deduction by the Central Processing Centre (CPC).

CIT(A), NFAC was wholly unjustified in not adjudicating the ground so raised before it on merits and the Ld. CIT(A), NFAC s action in directing the AO in passing fresh order is bad in law and it may be held accordingly. 2. Without prejudice to Ground No. 1 above, the Ld.

We, therefore, under the given facts and circumstances of the case, are of the considered view that the assessee being a charitable Trust registered u/s 12AA of the Act deserves to be allowed the deduction of ₹ 11,60,122/- (6,02,569/- + 3,86,090/- + 1,71,463/-) claimed u/s 11 of the Act. Since similar issue has been raised by the assessee in ITA No. 471/Kol/2021 r .....
