..... 2013. The Tribunal in the aforesaid decision held as follows:- 5.3.1 We have heard both parties and carefully perused and considered the material on record and the judicial decisions cited.

In the factual matrix of the case on hand, we are of the view that there is no reason to deny the assessee the deduction claimed under section 80 IA(4)(iii) of the Act merely because the CBDT Notification was issued much later on 21.2.2012, when the said Notification is issued in view of the approval granted by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Govt. of-India on 13.4.2006. One of the terms and conditions specified in the Annexure to the CBDT Notification dt. 21.2.2012 at Sl. No. 5 states that - 5.

..... n the case of Creative Infocity Ltd. (supra), we find substantial merit in the contention of the assessee that the Notification to be issued by CBDT is only a formality once the approval is granted by the Ministry of Commerce Industry, Govt. of India, and, therefore, hold that once the CBDT Notification is issued, the assessee is entitled to the benefits under section 80 IA (4)(iii) of the Act from the date of approval by Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Govt. of India, subject to the compliance of the terms and conditions specified therein. There is nothing to suggest that the benefits of the deduction under section 80 IA (4)(iii) of the Act are available only from the date of Notification by the CBDT. We, therefore, hold that the assess .....
