(Exemption), Bhopal [“CIT(E)”], by which the assessee’s applications for
grant of final registration u/s 12AB & final approval u/s 80G of Income-tax
Act, 1961 [“the act”] have been rejected. The assessee has raised the
grounds as mentioned in Appeal Memos (Form No. 36).
Ld. AR for assessee at first drew us to the impugned orders and
demonstrated that the CIT(E) has rejected assessee’s applications on the
footing that the assessee has not submitted complete information/
documents as called by him through notices dated 22.07.2024 &
02.09.2024. Ld. AR next carried us to Page 12-13 of Paper-Book where a
copy of the reply submitted by assessee to CIT(E) through physical mode on
01.08.2024, duly acknowledged by official seal of CIT(E), is placed. Ld. AR
submitted that in the said reply, the assessee has made best of its effort to
file the details/documents required by CIT(E). And the assessee is still ready
to submit any other detail/document required by CIT(E). Therefore, in the
interest of justice, one more opportunity may be given to assessee to enable
the submission.
Ld. DR for revenue agrees with the prayer of Ld. AR but makes a
request to direct the assessee to represent its case before CIT(E) and do not
seek unnecessary adjournments.
Considering above submissions of parties and having regard to the
principle of natural justice, we remand these matters back to the file of
CIT(E) for adjudication afresh. The CIT(E) shall give necessary opportunity of

hearing to assessee and pass appropriate orders. The assessee is also
directed to remain vigilant and ensure participation in the hearings as may
be fixed by CIT(E) and do not seek unnecessary adjournments failing which
the CIT(E) shall be at liberty to pass appropriate orders in accordance with
law. Ordered accordingly.
Resultantly, these appeals are allowed for statistical purpose.
Order pronounced in open court on 22/07/2025
