Out of total area of 11960.15 sq. meters to be constructed as per building construction permission, assessee had completed construction of 11,592.43sq.meters. Necessary completion certificates from local authority were also issued from time to time and last such certificate was issued on 1st December,2008. Thus, construction was completed and duly certified by local authority before 31st March, 2009. 4. record further shows that buildings E and F were not to be constructed and land was to be handed over to landlord on account of further developments and dispute. This was only remaining portion of construction out of originally sanctioned plan. assessee had claimed deduction in respect of income arising out of sale of construction only for which completion certificates were issued. That being position, we do not find any error in view of Tribunal granting deduction under Section 80IB(10) of Act. No question of law arises. Income Tax Appeal is dismissed.
