The assessee’s housing project was commenced pre 1.4.2005 when s. 80-IB(10) did not impose any ceiling on the commercial area that could be embedded in the project.

As the commercial area exceeded the ceiling stipulated in s. 80-IB(10)(d), the claim for deduction was denied. On appeal by the assessee to the High Court, HELD reversing the Tribunal:
