Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, NAGPUR BENCH :: NAGPUR
PER ANUBHAV SHARMA, JM:
This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order of Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (for short, “CIT(A)”), dated 10/03/2025 passed under section 250 of the
ITA No. 260/NAG/2025 (Asthivinayak Developers) Income Tax Act, 1961 (for short, “Act”), for the Assessment Year (AY) 2015-16.
On hearing both the sides, we find that the assessee was proceeded ex–parte during the First Appellate Authority proceedings and before us. Ld. Counsel has relied on the paper book containing various evidences to contest the additions made by Ld. Assessing Officer.
It appears from the assessment order that out of survey proceedings, income was surrendered, however, Assessing Officer was not satisfied and based upon certain information, proceeded to make the additions. Ld. CIT(A) records in the impugned order of issuance of notice on specific e–mail address, however, detail of same are not there and the Form– 35 mentions of the e–mail, but also mentions that the assessee had mentioned notices being not served by e–mail.
In the light of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, we consider it an appropriate case to restore the issues to the files of Assessing Officer to give afresh
ITA No. 260/NAG/2025 (Asthivinayak Developers) opportunity of hearing to the assessee and pass an order afresh.
In the result, the appeal is allowed for statistical purposes.
