Assessee by : Shri Manoj Kataruka, AR Revenue by : Shri Sanjit Kr. Das, CIT-DR Date of Hearing : 12.06.2026 Date of Pronouncement : 12.06.2026
ORDER Per George Mathan, JM: These are the appeals filed by the assessee against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption), Kolkata [hereinafter referred to as the ‘CIT(E)’] rejecting the registration u/s 12A and 80G both dated 30.03.2026 respectively.
Shri Manoj Kataruka, AR represented on behalf of the assessee and Sanjit Kr. Das, CIT-DR represented on behalf of the revenue.
These are the appeals for early hearing which was fixed for today i.e. 12.06.2026. Early hearing applications are accepted and the appeals are being disposed off.
ITA No.1806&1807/Kol/2026 4. A perusal of the facts in the present case shows that the assessee has not produced details before the ld. CIT(E). The ld. CIT-DR did not oppose if the issues are being restored to the file of the ld. CIT(E) for readjudication. This being so, the issues in both the appeals are restored to the file of the ld. CIT(E) for readjudication after granting adequate opportunity to produce the details before the ld. CIT(E). Consequently, we set aside the orders of the ld. CIT(E) rejecting the registration u/s 12A and 80G dated 30.03.2026 in both cases and restore the appeals before the ld. CIT(A) for de novo adjudication to pass a fresh order after considering the details of the assessee.
In the result, the appeals of the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes.
