2. While admitting this appeal on 14th May 2013, the following question of law was framed for consideration:

"Whether on the facts and in circumstances of the case, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal was correct in law in deleting the addition of Rs.23,67,21,074/- by applying provisions of section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in respect of the Custom Duty paid on import of components which were used for export by the end of the year?"

3. In view of the decision of this Court today in ITA No.250 of 2005, the above question is answered in the affirmative, i.e. in favour of the Assessee and against the Revenue.
