The assessee has not furnished source of these deposits. Hence, ld. AO made an addition of Rs.1,11,94,300/- treating it as unexplained deposit u/s 69A of the Act. Against this assessee went in appeal before ld. CIT(A)/NFAC. The assessee filed submissions which are first time filed before NFAC and prayed for admission of the same. Consequent to this, NFAC forwarded the new submissions filed before him to ld. AO calling for the remand report. However, the ld. AO failed to submit the remand report. Hence, having no option, NFAC considered the evidence available on record and dismissed the appeal of the assessee. Against this assessee once again in appeal before us. 3. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the materials available on record. The ld. A.R. pleaded that there was no remand report filed by the ld. AO before NFAC. The NFAC has taken adverse view of the facts of the case and decided the issue against the assessee. He prayed that issue may be remitted to the file of ld. AO to consider the assessee’s submissions filed before NFAC in its entirety and decide the issue afresh.
