Facts
The assessee, M/s Tropex Suppliers Pvt. Ltd., appealed against the Ld. CIT(A)'s ex-parte dismissal for AY 2012-13. The original assessment by the Ld. AO included an addition of ₹1,28,50,000/- for share application money, of which the tribunal noted ₹1,23,00,000/- was received in prior years, leaving only ₹5,50,000/- for the current year.
Held
The Tribunal restored the appeal to the file of the Ld. AO, directing a fresh examination of the share application money addition, specifically concerning the correct assessment year of receipt, after providing the assessee a reasonable opportunity of being heard. The Tribunal's decision effectively allowed the appeal for statistical purposes.
Key Issues
Whether the addition for share application money was correctly made for AY 2012-13, given that most of the amount was received in prior years, and whether the assessee was afforded proper opportunity of hearing.
