This appeal is filed against the order bearing DIN & Order No.ITBA/APL/S/250/2024-25/1066747754(1) dated 16.07.2024 of the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax [herein after “CIT(A), for the assessment year 2013-14. Through the aforesaid appeal the assesse has challenged order u/s 250 dated 16.07.2024 passed by Addl/JCIT(A)- 2 Pune.

2.0 At the outset Ld. Counsel for the assessee informed that it had contested the orders u/s 201 / 201A dated 18.03.2020 passed by the Ld. AO imposing demand of Rs.31,229/- before the Ld. CIT(A) but could not file any written submission / documentary evidence before the Ld. First Appellate Authority as a result of which the order u/s 201 / 201A was confirmed. The Ld. Sr. AR argued that the assessee was given sufficient opportunity by the Ld. First Appellate Authority and hence no relief is permissible. 3.0 We have heard the ld. DR, perused the materials available on record and gone through the orders of authorities below. In this case, admittedly the assessee could not file any evidence or explanation with regard to Impugned controversy qua the TDS deduction before the Ld. CIT(A) even though opportunities were given. 4.0 Be that as it may be, in order to meet the ends of natural justice, we are of the considered opinion that the assessee shall be afforded one more opportunity of being heard to furnish the details. Accordingly, we set aside the order of the ld. CIT(A) and remit the matter back to him to re adjudicate the matter de novo after giving one more opportunity of being heard to the assessee. The assessee is also directed to furnish complete details with evidence before the Ld. First Appellate Authority without fail.
