However he has failed to inform hearing notices which has caused exparte order and also delay of 60 days in filing the above appeal. Therefore the delay may be condoned in the interest of justice and opportunity be given to the assessee
Trust to prove the genuineness of the activities of the Trust before
Ld. CIT(E) and for granting registration u/s. 12AB of the Act.
We have considered the submissions of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee as well as the materials available on record. Ld. CIT(E) has sent the hearing notices to the email id as shown in Form 10AB. As there was no response, he denied the registration. In the Interest of Justice, we deem it fit to set aside the matter back to the file of Ld. CIT(E) by imposing a cost of Rs.5,000/- payable to the Income Tax Department within two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. On production of receipt for payment of the cost, Ld. CIT(E) is directed to given one more opportunity of hearing to the assessee for registration and in accordance with the provisions of law.
In the result, the appeal filed by Assessee is allowed for statistical purpose.
