1.Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2017-18 arises out of an order passed by Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] on 29-01-2024 in the matter of an an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s 143(3) of the Act on 30-12-2019. The registry has noted delay of 4 days in the appeal, which stand condoned. 2. During hearing, Ld. AR drew attention to para-6 of the impugned order and pleaded for another opportunity of hearing before lower

authorities which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR. In the assessment order, Ld. AO made addition of cash deposit for Rs.10.29 Lacs since the assessee could not submit any valid explanation. The situation remained the same during first appellate proceedings. Accordingly, impugned addition was confirmed. The Ld. AR submitted that the assessee is in a position to substantiate the same if another opportunity is granted to the assessee. 3. Accepting the prayer of Ld. AR, we restore the appeal back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for fresh adjudication after affording adequate opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case. 4. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced on 3rd July,2024
