Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, KOLKATA-PATNA ‘e-COURT’, KOLKATA
Before: Shri Rajpal Yadav, Vice-(KZ) & Dr. Manish Borad
Per Rajpal Yadav, Vice-President (KZ):- The assessee is in appeal before the Tribunal against the order of ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi dated 31st October, 2023 passed for assessment year 2017-18.
Assessment Year: 2017-2018 Kishore Kumar Singh 2. The only grievance of the assessee is that ld. Assessing Officer has erred in estimating the income at 10% of the gross receipts and such estimation has been upheld by the ld. CIT(Appeals) by dismissing the appeal of the assessee for want of prosecution.
With the assistance of ld. Representative, we have gone through the record carefully. Sub-Section (6) of section 250 contemplates that ld. CIT(Appeals) would state the points in dispute and thereafter record reasons on those points in support of her conclusion. In the impugned order, ld. CIT(Appeals) has not adjudicated on the issue on merit, rather dismissed the appeal for want of prosecution. Therefore, we set aside the impugned order of ld. CIT(Appeals) and restore this issue to the file of ld. CIT(Appeals) for deciding it on merit. It is needless to say that ld. CIT(Appeals) would grant opportunity of hearing to the assessee and thereafter decide the appeal on merit.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open Court on 25.09.2024.
