In this appeal, the assessee has raised the following grounds: "1. The Learned CIT(A) has erred in confirming the Intimation order u/s 143 (1)(a) of learned ITO, CPC by not allowing the rate of tax as per Sec 115BAA of 22% on grounds of non-filing of form 10-1C 2. Without prejudice to ground no 1, The Learned CIT(A) has erred in confirming the Intimation order u/s 143 (1)(a) of learned ITO, CPC by applying the normal rate of tax @ 30% whereas the correct rate is 25% since the turnover of the company in financial year 18-19 and in the current financial year is less than 400 crores." 3.

The learned AR, during the hearing, fairly submitted that in the present case Form 10-IC has not been filed by the assessee till date.
