Brief facts of the case are, the assessee has filed its original return of income on 23.10.2018 for Assessment Year 2018-19 and filed Form 10CCB to claim the deduction under section 80IC of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (for short the Act ) only on 05.11.2018.

He submitted that assessee has submitted Form 10CCB before completion of 143 (1) proceedings. In this regard, he relied on the decision of ACIT vs. Green Dot Health Foods Pvt.

Even though the Accountant has uploaded the same on 06.11.2017. With the above facts on record, the coordinate Bench has rejected the claim of the assessee. However, we also find that in the case of Green Dot Health Foods Pvt. Ltd. (supra), the coordinate Bench has considered the exact similar case which is on record and allowed the claim by observing as under :- 7. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material available on record. The issue in the present ground is about the denial of claim of deduction u/s 80IC of the Act by AO but allowing the claim of the assessee by CIT(A). The only reason for denying the cla .....

DR for the Revenue relied on the decision of Wipro Ltd. (supra) in which Hon ble Supreme Court has rejected the claim of the assessee for filing the audit report belatedly against the provisions of the Act u/s 10B of the Act which relates to exemption.
