MADHUKAR SAHAKARI SK.LTD.,,FAIZPUR vs. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX,, JALGAON

We find no representation on behalf of the assessee nor any application filed seeking adjournment. Thus, the assessee called absent and set ex-parte. Therefore, we proceed to dispose of the appeal by hearing the ld. DR and perusing the material available on record.

The assessee filed six grounds of appeal amongst which the only issue is to be considered is as to whether the CIT(A) is justified in confirming the order of AO in determining the total income at Rs.74,44,945/- in the facts and circumstances of the case.

Heard ld. DR, Shri M. Jasnani and perused the material available on record. We note that the assessee is a Co-operative Society and is engaged in manufacturing sugar. For the year under consideration, the AO has passed an order giving effect to the order of the CIT(A) on 30-11-2011, determining the income of the assessee at Rs.1,57,35,265/ -. Against the said order the assessee made an application u/s. 154 of the Act on 09-04- 2012, requesting the AO to give effect to the brought forward losses determined by the AO vide his order dated 03-02-2005. In response to the assessee’s rectification application, the AO rectified his order giving effect to the order CIT(A) on 27/06/2012, determining the revised total income of the assessee at Rs.1,25,22,238/- as against Rs.1,57,35,265/- originally determined at the time of giving effect to the order of the CIT(A). Therefore, it is clear the AO gave set off of brought forward losses to the tune of Rs.32,13,207/-. Being dissatisfied with this rectification order, the assessee again filed rectification application on 17-09-2012 before the AO requesting to give setoff of the brought forward losses to the tune of Rs.1,39,14,187/-, as per his predecessor AO's order dated 03-02-2005 which was rejected by the AO vide his letter No.JAL/ACJT/Cir-l /Recovery/ MSSK/20 12-13/34 dated 24-09-2012. The CIT(A) confirmed the order of AO. Being aggrieved with such rejection, the assessee is in appeal on various grounds before us challenging the action of CIT(A).

On perusal of the above we note the CIT(A) after considering the facts of this case and rectification orders passed u/s. 154 of the Act has determined the assessee total income at Rs.74,44,945/- after verification of case record.

The CIT(A) further stated that the original assessment order passed u/s. 143(3) is no more relevant and the set off of said unabsorbed depreciation for A.Y. 1991-92 at Rs.50,77,293/- needs to be ignored.
