At the time of hearing, none appeared for assessee. Upon perusal of impugned order dated 12-09-2023, it could be seen that the assessee failed to file Audit Report in Form No.10 as required u/s 12A(1)(b) and accordingly, it was denied exemption as claimed by it u/s 11 & 12. The assessee preferred condonation application before prescribed authority which was pending. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed. The Ld. Sr. DR pleaded for dismissal of the appeal. The registry has noted delay of 158 days in the appeal, which stand condoned.
It is quite clear that the assessee’s application seeking condonation of delay is already pending before appropriate authority. The outcome of the same would have direct bearing on the claim of the assessee. Therefore, we restore the appeal back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) to await the outcome of the condonation application and re-adjudicate the appeal on the basis of outcome of the same.
The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
