Harisankar V. Menon, J.
The appellant, an assessee under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’), has instituted this appeal, seeking to challenge Annexure H order dated 16.05.2025 in ITA No.814/Coch/2024, with respect to the assessment year 2017-18 of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Cochin Bench.
2. The appellant is stated to have not filed returns for the financial year relevant to the assessment year 2017-18, as it was of the bona fide belief that the benefits under Section 80P of the Act were available to it.
