PER YOGESH KUMAR, U.S. JM:
The present appeal is filed by the Appellant against the order of CIT(Exemption) (‘Ld. CIT(E) for short), Delhi dated 25/06/2024.
The appellant filed an Application for registration u/s 12A (1)(ac)(iii) of the I.T. Act in form No. 10AB of Income Tax Act, 1961 (‘Act’ for short). The said application has been rejected vide order dated 25/06/2024 on the ground that the Appellant failed to comply with the notices and failed to produce requisite documents in support of the claim, which is under challenged before us.
The Ld. Counsel for the Appellant submitted that the order impugned has been passed in violation of principals of natural justice, the Ld. CIT(E) has not provided the opportunity of being heard to the Appellant, thus sought for allowing the Appeal.
Per contra, the Ld. Department's Representative submitted that the Appellant has not complied with the notices issued by the Ld.
CIT(E) and not produced any documents in support of the claim, thus the order impugned has been rightly passed by the Ld. CIT(E), therefore, sought for dismissal of the present Appeal.
We have heard the parties and perused the material available on record. It can be seen from the order impugned, the Ld. CIT(E) has rejected the application for want of documents to substantiate the claim of the Appellant and the Appellant has not been heard before passing the orders impugned. Thus, we set aside the impugned orders of the Ld. CIT(E) and remand the matter to the file of Ld. CIT(E)
with a direction to decide the applications afresh after providing opportunity of being heard to the Appellant. The Appellant is also at liberty to produce any/all documents in support of its claim.
In the result, the appeals of the Appellant partly allowed for statistical purpose.
Order pronounced in the open court on 08th July , 2025 Sd/- Sd/-
