Date of concluding the hearing : 16.02.2026 Date of pronouncing the order : 05.03.2026 O R D E R Per Rajesh Kumar, AM
The present appeal filed by the assessee arises from order dated 21.08.2025 passed u/s 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereafter “the Act”) by the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [hereafter referred to “the Ld. CIT(A)] for AY 2017-18.
At the outset, the Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that the Ld. CIT(A) though called for the remand report from the AO and the assessee duly appeared in the remand proceedings but despite that the Ld. CIT(A) restored the issue to the file of the AO. Beside the Ld. Counsel for the M/s Krishnabhakta Griha Nirman Pvt. Ltd. assessee submitted that some new evidences were filed before the Ld. CIT(A) as referred by the Ld. CIT(A) on page No. 6 which were not admitted by the Ld. CIT(A).
After hearing the rival submissions and perusing the material available on record, we are inclined to admit these evidences and remand the matter back to the file of ld. CIT(A) to decide all the issues for denovo adjudication after affording a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee and after taking into a remand report from the AO.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
