In our considered view, when the assessee is entitled for exemption u/s. 11 AO ought to have entertained Rectification Petition filed by the assessee when the assessee has filed relevant Form No.10B specifying the amount of income accumulated for specified purpose, for which, income has been accumulated. CIT(A) without appreciating the fact simply rejected the appeal filed by the assessee. Therefore, we are of the considered view that the issue needs to go back to the file of the AO, and thus, we set aside the order of the Ld.CIT(A) and restored the issue back to the file of the AO and direct the AO to re-consider the issue in light of relevant Form No.10B filed by the .....

The learned CIT(A) did not even consider this grounds of appeal while dismissing our appeal petition under section 246 of the Act. 9. The Appellant humbly plead the Honourable Bench to set aside the order under section 154 and approve the claim of application of Rs. 35,74,097/- and determine the income under the Provisions of Section 11 of the Act and pass such other or further orders as he may deem fit and proper in this case. 3.
