Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, ‘C’ BENCH: CHENNAI

Before: SHRI MAHAVIR SINGHAND SHRI MANOJ KUMAR AGGARWAL

Hearing: 30.01.2023

आदेश / O R D E R Per Mahavir Singh, Vice President :

These two appeals by the assessee are arising out of the orders of Commissioner of Income Tax, National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi, [CIT(A)] in Appeal Nos.NFAC/2017-18/10033694 & CIT(A), Coimbatore-3/10113/2020-21 both dated 10.06.2022. The

ITA Nos.638 & 640/Chny/2022 :- 2 -:

returns of income for the assessment years 2018-19 & 2019-20 was

processed by DCIT & ADIT, CPC, Bengaluru by issuing intimations

u/s.143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter the ‘Act’) dated

09.08.2019 & 06.08.2020, respectively.

2.

The only common issue in these two appeals of the assessee is

as regards to the order of CIT(A) not considering the fundamental fact

that the assessee has moved of condonation petition for filing delayed

return of income before Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and

without waiting the outcome of the condonation petition CIT(A)

confirmed the action of the Assessing Officer (AO) in denying the claim

of deduction made by assessee u/s. 80P of the Act, while processing

the return of income u/s. 143(1) of the Act. For this, the assessee has

raised identical worded grounds in both the years and the facts and

circumstances are also identical. The relevant ground No.2 as raised

by the assessee in ITA No.638/Chny/2022 for A.Y 2018-19 reads as

under:

“2. The learned CIT(A) erred in not considering the fundamental fact the Assessing Officer, while processing the return of income u/s. 143(1), denied the claim of deduction made by the appellant u/s. 80P of the IT Act, without waiting for the outcome of the condonation petition filed before the CBDT.”

ITA Nos.638 & 640/Chny/2022 :- 3 -:

3.

We have heard Ld. CIT-DR and Sr. D.R. Despite issuance of

notice, assessee moved adjournment petition but going through the

file, it is noticed that without the presence of the assessee the matter

can be decided. Hence, we took up the matter and decided to

adjudicate the same.

4.

At the outset, the Ld. CIT-DR as well as Ld. Sr. D.R has not

raised the objection as regards to restoring the matter back to the file

of the CIT(A) and to await the decision of CBDT in regard to

assessee’s condonation petition for condonation of late filing of return

of income and consequently deciding the deduction u/s. 80P of the

Act. In term of the above, we restore these two appeals of assessee

back to the file of the CIT(A). We also direct the concerned A.O to take

up the matter with the CBDT for expediency disposal of the relevant

condonation petition filed before CBDT by the assessee for

condonation of late filing of returns of income for the relevant A.Ys

2018-19 & 2019-20. In term of the above, the orders of the lower

authorities in both the A.Ys are set aside and both the appeals of the

assessee are allowed for statistical purposes.

ITA Nos.638 & 640/Chny/2022 :- 4 -:

5.

In the result, both the appeal of the assessee are allowed for statistical purposes.

Order pronounced in the open Court on 30th January, 2023.
