PALANISAMY BUVANARANI,NAMAKKAL vs. ITO, CHE-W-(65)(92), CHENNAI

आदेश / O R D E R Manoj Kumar Aggarwal (Accountant Member) 1. Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2012-13 arises out of order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 07-02-2023 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s.147 r.w.s 144B of the Act on 15-09-2021. In the assessment order, the assessee was saddled with addition of Rs.30 Lacs on account of cash deposit made in certain bank account.

ITA No.375/Chny/2023 - 2 - The assessee submitted that the cash was deposited out of income and sale of agricultural land by husband and also out of past savings. In the absence of any documentary evidences, the explanation was rejected. During appellate proceedings, the hearing notices remained un-complied with which led to confirmation of impugned addition. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. 2. Before us, Ld. AR has pleaded for another opportunity and undertook to file the requisite details in support of the claim. The Ld. Sr. DR opposed any interference in the impugned order. 3. We find that the impugned addition has been made since the assessee could not file the supporting documents. However, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to provide another opportunity to the assessee and therefore, restore the impugned disallowance to the file of Ld. AO with a direction to the assessee to substantiate its claim. 4. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.

Order pronounced in open court on 26th April, 2023.
