Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year(AY) 2015-16 arises out of an order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), NFAC [CIT(A)] dated 17.10.2025 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s 147 r.w.s 144B of the Act on 07.03.2024. The registry has noted the delay of 8 days which stand condoned.
The Ld. AR, at the outset, pleaded for restoring the matter back to the file of lower authorities on the ground that the assessee is in a position to defend its case. In the assessment order, Ld. AO made various adjustments to determine assessee’s income at Rs.163.43 Lacs for want of complete information from the assessee. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the assessment for want of any representation from the assessee. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. 3. Keeping in mind the principles of natural justice, we accept the prayer of Ld. AR subject to payment of cost of Rs.5,000/- which shall be deposited by the assessee within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order to the Poor Patient Relief Fund of PGI Hospital, Chandigarh. The proof of the same would be furnished by the assessee to Ld. AO who would proceed for de novo assessment. The assessee is directed to plead and prove its case forthwith. 4. The appeal stands allowed for statistical purposes.
