Before: SHRI NARENDRA KUMAR BILLAIYA, HON’BLE & SHRI RAHUL CHAUDHARY, HON’BLE
PER NARENDRA KUMAR BILLAIYA, AM: This appeal by the assessee is preferred against the order of the Addl/JCIT(A)-1, Coimbatore, dt. 19/12/2023 for the Assessment Year 2011-12. 2. The solitary grievance of the assessee is that the ld. CIT(A) erred in confirming the action of the Assessing Officer (AO) for non- granting of credit of advance tax paid.
Having heard rival submissions, we have carefully perused the orders of the authorities below. A perusal of Form 26AS downloaded from the IT portal show advance payment of Rs.2,06,000/- is reflected and the date of deposit is 22/03/2011. This credit was denied by the AO and the ld. CIT(A) for the simple reason that the same was not claimed in the original return of income filed. Assessment Year: 2011-12 Karunashanker Ramchandra Selot 2
Be that as it may, we are of the considered view that the credit for taxes paid should be allowed to the tax-payer. Therefore, we direct the AO to allow the credit of tax paid after verification.
In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the Court on 3rd July, 2024 at Mumbai. (RAHUL CHAUDHARY) ACCOUNTANT MEMBER Kolkata, Dated 03/07/2024 *SC SrPs *SC SrPs *SC SrPs *SC SrPs
