Facts
The jurisdictional AO was directed to adjudicate the matter afresh, providing the assessee with adequate opportunity for a hearing. However, due to the assessee's non-cooperation during appellate proceedings, despite receiving notices, a cost of Rs. 5,000 was imposed on the assessee.
Held
The Tribunal imposed a cost of Rs. 5,000 on the assessee for non-cooperation during appellate proceedings. The cost is payable to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Bar Association within sixty days. Failure to pay the cost will result in the order of the CIT(A) being confirmed.
Key Issues
