DR though supported the order of the lower authorities could not place any evidence to prove that the CPC had given intimation to the assessee prior to making the adjustment to the income declared in the income tax return. 5. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the records available on record. We notice that the assessee claimed deduction u/s 80IA of the Act but the same was denied by the CPC in the order passed u/s 143(1)(a) of the Act. We observe that proviso to Section 143(1)(a) of the Act provides that no adjustment can be made u/s 143(1)(a) of the Act unless an intimation is given to the assessee of such adjustment either in writing or in electronic mode.

It was also stated that the year under consideration being AY 2016-17, no such intimation needs to be given. 7. We have noticed that the return of income of the assessee pertaining to AY 2016-17 was processed u/s 143(1) on 25.06.2017, i.e., after the date of insertion of clause (v) to sec. 143(1), i.e, after 1.4.2017.
