Facts
The assessee's appeal was dismissed by the CIT(A) for being filed beyond the prescribed period. The assessee contended they were unaware of the delay and thus couldn't file a condonation application.
Held
The Tribunal noted that the CIT(A) did not provide an opportunity to the assessee to explain the delay before dismissing the appeal. The Bench found the assessee's plea regarding unawareness of the delay to be reasonable.
Key Issues
Whether the appeal dismissed by CIT(A) on account of delay, without providing opportunity to the assessee, should be restored?
