Income Tax Officer vs World Wide Stones on 29 February, 2008
He also relied upon Choksi Metal Refinery v. CIT (supra) and in particular our attention was drawn to the observations made by the Hon'ble High Court at p. 71 of the Report, which was followed in Dy. CIT v. Suprint Textile (supra). The AO, therefore was supposed to have advised the assessee in this regard, which he has not done. The learned Counsel also argued that the said circular does not say that the details must be available, on record and then only, the AO should discharge his duties. He further argued that even an audit report under Section 80HHC was filed before the learned CIT(A). Various Courts have held that filing of an audit report along with the return is not mandatory and can be filed later also to get deduction under Section 80HHC.
