The CBDT has issued Instruction No. 17/2013 (F.No.178/84/2012-ITA.I) dated 19.11.2013 in which it has noted that the Assessing Officers are not following the clarifications given in Circular No. 01/2013, dated 17.1.2013. In the said Circular, the CBDT has clarified various contentious issues relating to export of computer software and claim of deduction under sections 10A, 10AA and 10B of the Income-tax Act, 1961. In a stern tone, the CBDT has “advised” the Assessing Officers to follow the contents of Circular in letter and spirit and not to take a divergent view. It has also directed the Assessing Officers not to file further appeals in cases where orders were passed prior to the issue of the Circular
