The Assessee has raised following grounds of appeal :
“1. Erred in holding that the deduction u/s.35(2AB) for Assessment Year: 2018-2019 expenditure incurred at the in house Research and Development Centre of the appellant must be capped at the amount certified by the DSIR in form 3CL and hence disallowed a sum of Rs.32,91,021.
2. Without prejudice, erred in not allowing the said expenditure of Rs.21,94,004 u/s. 37(1) as it was nonetheless an expense incurred for the running business of the appellant even if not entitled to a weighted deduction.
