The assessee stated that claimed TDS of Rs.1,98,337/- u/s 194IA as it had sold flat No. 1101/- in its Mahabir Ornate Project Rs.2,67,12,000/- to Nikita Aggarwal who had deducted the TDS u/s 194IA of Rs.1,98,337/-. The assessee claimed that it had shown the entire sale proceeds in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31.03.2020 and also claimed TDS on the sale of flat as referred above. However, while processing the return of income filed by the assesse the credit of said TDS was not granted to the assessee during the year under consideration. The assessee also submitted that said TDS was appearing in 26AS of F.Y. 2020-21 (assessment year 2021-22) and not in the year on sale of flat i.e assessment year 2020-21. The assssee has P a g e | M/s Shah & Chheda Homes Pvt. Ltd. Vs. CIT(A) NFAC claimed the TDS in the year in which the gross sale were offered to tax in the assessment year 2020-21.
Heard both the sides and perused the material on record. During the course of appellate proceedings before us the ld. Counsel submitted that assessee has filed additional ground of appeal before the NFAC on 03.11.2022, however, the same was not adjudicated by the ld. CIT(A). In this regard, the ld. Counsel has also filed copy of additional ground of appeal filed before the ld. CIT(A) on the issue of not giving credit of TDS deducted u/s 194IA of Rs.1,98,337/-. We have perused the order u/s 250 of the Act passed by the ld. CIT(A) on 24.12.2021 and noticed that the additional ground of appeal filed by the ld. Counsel as referred above stating that credit of TDS claimed in the return of income has not been adjudicated by the ld. CIT(A). In the light of the above facts and circumstances we restore this matter to the file of the ld. CIT(A) for adjudicating the additional grounds of appeal on merit after affording reasonable opportunity to the assessee. Therefore, this ground of appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purpose.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
