The Tribunal noted the assessee's contention that the CIT(A) failed to consider the Full Bench judgment of the Kerala High Court, which requires the Assessing Officer to examine transactions and allow the assessee to produce supporting documents. The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) had not considered the matter in the correct perspective.

The Tribunal noted that the jurisdictional High Court had previously held that a co-operative society issuing a certificate under the relevant Act is eligible for deduction. The Tribunal found that the lower authorities had not considered this aspect and therefore set aside the order.

The Tribunal held that the lease rent received by the assessee should be assessed under the head 'income from business', following its own prior decisions in similar cases for the assessee. The Tribunal found that the intention was not to simply let out assets but to exploit commercial assets for income.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, stating that the job work (stitching) was an integral part of the assessee's footwear manufacturing process and done under its supervision. Therefore, the proportionate disallowance of job work for Section 80IB deduction was unwarranted.
