Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2017-18 arises out of the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 21-12-2023 in the matter of an assessment framed by the Ld.AO u/s.143(3) on 05-07-2019. In the assessment order, Ld. AO made addition of cash deposits for Rs.12.07 Lacs. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the assessment since the assessee failed to make any submissions therein. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us.
The registry has noted a delay of 9 days in the appeal, which stand condoned. At the time of hearing, none appeared for assessee. The Ld. Sr. DR has pleaded for dismissal of the appeal.
Though the assessee has remained negligent, however, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to grant another opportunity to the assessee to substantiate its case. Accordingly, the appeal is restored back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for de novo adjudication with a direction to the assessee to substantiate its case failing which Ld. CIT(A) shall be at liberty to consider the appeal on merits on the basis of material on record. 4. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
