HIGH COURT OF DELHI
CIT v. Sandan Vikas (India) Ltd.
IT APPEAL NO. 348 OF 2011
FEBRUARY 24, 2011

The Gujarat High Court in CIT v. Claris Lifesciences Ltd. [2010] 326 ITR 251/[2008] 174 Taxman 113 detailed in no uncertain terms that the cut-off date mentioned in the certificate issued by the DSIR would be of no relevance. What is to be seen is that the assessee was indulging in R&D activity and had incurred the expenditure thereupon. Once a certificate by DSIR is issued, that would be sufficient to hold that the assessee fulfils the conditions laid down in section 35(2AB).
