Facts
The assessee, a Bihar State Government Undertaking engaged in road construction, filed several appeals against assessment orders for AYs 2012-13 to 2018-19. The Assessing Officer reopened assessments under Section 147, disallowing deductions for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenses and interest income claimed under Section 80-IA. The CIT(A) upheld these disallowances.
Held
The Tribunal noted that some documents were filed for the first time before it and had not been considered by the CIT(A). In the interest of justice, the Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s orders and remitted the matters back to the CIT(A) for re-adjudication, considering the new documents and grounds.
Key Issues
Whether disallowance of CSR expenses and deductions under Section 80-IA for interest income was justified. Whether the assessee was denied a sufficient opportunity to present its case.
