This appeal is filed by the assessee against the order of the Ld. CIT(Appeals)-NFAC, Delhi dated 27.09.2024 for the AY 2012-13 in sustaining the disallowance of Rs.20,25,000/- made u/s 37 of the Act.

On perusal of the grounds of appeal

of the assessee we observe that the Ld. CIT(Appeals) appears to have disposed of the appeal ex parte. In the grounds of appeal the assessee contended that no hearing notice was served on the assessee. In ground no. 6 of the grounds of appeal the assessee contended that it had opted under VSVS 2020 and paid tax after issuing Form

3. However, it appears that this fact was omitted to consider by the Ld. CIT(Appeals) and the appeal of the assessee was dismissed sustaining the disallowance made u/s 37 of the Act. The record before us shows that the Revenue issued Form 3 dated 11.02.2021 determining the tax payable on disputed disallowance and the assessee also paid the tax due of Rs.2,94,752/- for which Form 4 was also issued. Therefore, since the assessee had opted under VSVS and settled the dispute, we set aside the findings of the Ld. CIT(Appeals) on merits. The appeal filed by the assessee is treated as withdrawn.

3.

In the result, appeal of the assessee is dismissed as withdrawn.
