“Tribunal”]. 4.1 The Tribunal, by way of a brief order, has remitted the matter to the Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) with a direction to decide the issues afresh, after consideration of the evidence filed by the assessee. 5. Furthermore, the TPO has been directed to give a hearing in the matter to the authorized representative of the assessee. The direction for remand was prefaced with the Tribunal invoking Rule 29 of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Rules, 1963 [in short, “Rules”]. Accordingly, in exercise of the power vested under the said Rule, additional supporting evidence was admitted by the Tribunal, with a view that it required appraisal by the TPO. 5.1 It also appears that, while exercising its power to remit the matter to the TPO, the Tribunal took into account the fact that the issues which had been raised on merits before it, obtained in earlier assessment years as well, in which, no objection was raised or disallowance ordered by the Assessing Officer (AO)/TPO. 6. Thus, having regard to the fact that the assessee was under a bona fide belief, in view of similarity of issues, that it need not file documentary evidence, the Tribunal, as noted above, remitted the matter to the TPO. 7. We have looked at the record, with the assistance of Mr Zoheb Hossain, who appears on behalf of the appellant/revenue. 8.

Therefore, these appeals are closed without prejudice to the rights and Digitally Signed By:TARUN RANA Signing Date:04.01.2023 16:14:16 Signature Not Verified
