Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, “C” BENCH: KOLKATA
This appeal filed by the revenue is against the order of Ld. LD. CIT(A)-2, Kolkata, dated 30.06.2015 for AY 2009-10. 2. The sole ground of appeal of the revenue is against the order of Ld. CIT(A) in deleting the addition made u/s. 68 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”).
3. At the outset itself, the Ld. DR pointed out that the assessee did not cooperate before the AO by not attending through the directors/share holders, so, AO passed order u/s. 144 of the Act. However, the Ld. CIT(A) without calling for remand report from AO has deleted the addition u/s. 68 of the Act. Therefore, he wants us to reverse the order of Ld. CIT(A) and restore the order of AO. The Ld. AR could not justify the action of Ld. CIT(A), so we are inclined to set aside the order of Ld. CIT(A) and remand the matter back to AO and direct the assessee to cooperate and attend diligently before AO. The AO is directed to do investigate as per the guidelines issued by the Ld. CIT u/s. 263 of the Act so that the pernicious practice of black money can be stamped out.
4. In the result, the appeal of revenue is allowed for statistical purposes. Order is pronounced in the open court on 18th April, 2018. Sd/- Sd/- (J. Sudhakar Reddy) (A. T.
