Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2018-19 arises out of the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 29-12-2023 in the matter of assessment framed by the Ld.AO u/s 143(3) r.w.s 143(3A) & 143(3B) of the Act on 22-03-2021. The assessee was denied deduction u/s 80P(2)(d) for Rs.84.56 Lacs which was denied by Ld. AO, inter-alia, by invoking the provisions of Sec.80AC. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the same since the assessee failed to make any representation therein. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. During hearing none has 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 learned CIT(A) for de novo adjudication after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case forthwith failing which Ld. CIT(A) shall be at liberty to proceed with disposal of appeal on merits. 3. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
