He further submitted that Ld. CIT(E) while rejecting the approval u/s. 80G of the Act also, noted that since complete documents/details sought vide notice were also not attached with Form No. 10AB, therefore, the necessary verification in support of genuineness of the activities, charitable objects, commencement of the activities could not be completed. Therefore, it was requested to remit back the issues in both the appeals to the file of the CIT(E) to adjudicate the same afresh, after giving adequate opportunity of being heard to produce the requisite documents before the Ld.

3.

We have heard both the parties and perused the records. It is undisputed fact that Ld. CIT(E) passed both the orders rejecting the application filed in Form 10AB for registration u/s. 12A(1)(ac)(iii) and rejecting the approval u/s. 80G for not furnishing the complete documents/details sought vide notices, as a result thereof, the necessary verification in support of genuineness of the activities, charitable objects, commencement of the activities could not be completed. In view of the aforesaid factual matrix, we deem it fit and proper to remit back the issues to the file of the Ld. CIT(E) to adjudicate the same afresh, after making necessary verification, if any, and afford adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee in order to furnish the requisite documents/evidences before him so as to substantiate its case adequately and then decide the issues, in accordance with law. However, Assessee is directed through the Ld. AR to furnish the complete details/ evidences before the Ld. CIT(E) in accordance with law and fully cooperate with him during the proceedings. We hold and direct accordingly. 4. In the result, both the appeals filed by the assessee stand allowed for statistical purposes in the aforesaid manner.
