Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, “C” Bench, Mumbai
Before: Shri B.R. Baskaran (AM) & Shri Ramlal Negi (JM)
O R D E R Per B.R. Baskaran (AM) :
Both appeals filed by the assessee relate to A.Y. 2006-07 and they are directed against the order passed by the learned CIT(A)-18, Mumbai. The appeal numbered as relates to quantum assessment proceedings and other appeal relates to penalty levied u/s. 271(1)(c) of the I.T. Act.
None appeared on behalf of the assessee, even though adjournment was granted to the assessee at its request on earlier occasions. Further we notice that last opportunity was given to the assessee on the last date of hearing. Hence, we proceed to dispose of the appeal ex-parte, without presence of the assessee.
We have heard learned DR and perused the record. The assessee filed its return of income for the assessment year under consideration declaring a total
2 M/s. Pan Insurance Brokerage Company Pvt. Ltd. loss of ` 74.86 lakhs and it was selected for scrutiny. The assessee did not respond to various notices issued by the Assessing Officer. Hence, the Assessing Officer completed assessment to the best of his judgement u/s. 144 of the Act determining total income at Nil by disallowing claim of loss of ` 74.86 lakhs.
Before the learned CIT(A), the assessee filed financial statements and tax audit report and hence the learned CIT(A) called for a remand report from the Assessing Officer. In the remand report, the Assessing Officer submitted that the documents filed by the assessee are incomplete and further observed that various expenses claimed by the assessee do not appear to be reasonable. Accordingly, the learned CIT(A) confirmed the assessment order.
The assessing Officer also levied penalty u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act and the same was confirmed by the learned CIT(A).
Before us, the assessee has not furnished any material to contradict the findings given by the learned CIT(A) in both the appeals. Hence, we do not have any other option but to confirm the order passed by the learned CIT(A) in both the appeals.
In the result, both the appeals filed by the assessee are dismissed. Order has been pronounced in the Court on 16.7.2018.
