 These appeals, have been filed by the Revenue against the order 
 dated 25.11.2011 in ITA Nos.4255 and 4256/Del/2011 relating to assessment 
 years 2003-04 and 2004-05.  The question before the Tribunal was whether 
 the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the Assessing Officer were 
 justified in disallowing the assessee?s claim for deduction under Section 
 80IB only for the reason that the assessee had failed to furnish the 
 audit report in Form 10CCB along with the return of income filed by the 
 assessee. 
 . 
 The Tribunal held in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue 
 in the following manner:- 
 . 
 ?8. In the present case, the audit report in Form No.10CCB was filed by 
 the assessee during the reassessment proceedings completed under sec. 147 
 of the Act, during the course of which, the AO disallowed the assessee?s 
 claim of deduction under sec. 80-IB on the ground that the audit report 
 was not filed along with the return of income. The expression 
 ?assessment? includes re-assessment as defined in sub-sec.(8) of sec. 2 
 of the Act. In the present case, the relevant assessment order is the 
 assessment made under sec. 147 of the Act during the course of which 
 . 
 proceedings, the assessee has furnished the audit report in prescribed form. We, therefore, hold that the requirement of filing the audit report 
 for claiming the deduction under sec. 80-IB has been satisfied by the 
 assessee, and therefore, on this reason alone, the assessee?s claim of 
 deduction under sec. 80-IB is not disallowable. We, therefore, delete the 
 disallowance of assessee?s claim made under sec. 80-IB of the Act as the 
 assessee has satisfied the condition of filing audit report during 
 assessment proceedings initiated under sec. 147 of the Act. The Assessing 
 Officer shall modify the assessment order accordingly.? 
 . 
 The Tribunal had arrived at the aforesaid conclusion after following 
 decision of this Court in the case of CIT vs. Contimeters Electricals 
 (P.) Ltd., (2009) 317 ITR 249 (Delhi).  Though that decision was in 
 respect of original assessment, its ratio equally applies to 
 reassessment.  Consequently, there is no merit in these appeals and no 
 substantial question of law arises for our consideration. 
 . 
 The appeals are dismissed.
