The Tribunal held that the assessee is eligible for deduction under Section 80P(2)(b) on milk sold to outside parties, provided the sale price is not higher than that sold to the federal society. However, sales made exclusively to outsiders in August 2009 were excluded from the deduction.

The Tribunal held that the provisions of the DTAA, being more beneficial, would prevail over Section 206AA of the Income Tax Act. Therefore, tax deduction at the DTAA rate of 10% was correct.
The Tribunal held that the AO's failure to issue a draft order after the DRP's direction vitiated the assessment. This denied the assessee an opportunity to raise objections before the DRP, making the assessment order a nullity.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(Appeals)'s decision, finding it well-reasoned. The Tribunal agreed that the assessee was eligible for deduction on most projects but not for the two sub-contracts which were considered works contracts.
