<p>In this paper we investigate some hereditary properties of amenability modulo an ideal of Banach algebras. We show that<br />if (eα)α is a bounded approximate identity modulo I of a Banach algebra A and X is a neo-unital modulo I, then (eα)α is a bounded approximate identity for X. Moreover we show that amenability modulo an ideal of a Banach algebra A can be only considered by the neo-unital modulo I Banach algebra over A</p
