This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order dated 18.10.2023 passed by the ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre [NFAC], Delhi for the assessment year 2016-17.
We find no representation on behalf of the assessee nor any application filed seeking adjournment. Thus, the assessee called absent and set exparte. We proceed to decide the appeal on merits after hearing the ld. DR basing on the material available on record.
We find this appeal was filed with a delay of 4 days, though the assessee filed a petition for condonation of delay, but not supported by any affidavit. The Registry of ITAT, Chennai Bench issued notices dated 07.05.2024, 29.05.2024 and 02.07.2024. All the said notices returned “unserved” with an endorsement “no such person in the address”.
4. The assessee, vide its letter dated 02.07.2024 intimated change of address consequent upon change of Registered Office to Gujarat. Accordingly, the Registry of ITAT, Chennai Bench issued notices to the assessee in new address as furnished by it vide notice dated 29.07.2024, 12.08.2024 and 22.08.2024. However, on perusal of the appeal file, we find no response from the assessee or filed any adjournment petition. Moreover, the assessee has not filed Vakalat/ Power of Attorney in favour of any Advocate or Chartered Accountant to represent its case before the ITAT. Under the above facts and circumstances, we have no option, but to dismiss the appeal in limine as not maintainable.
In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced on 13th September, 2024 at Chennai.
