Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, ‘A’ BENCH, CHENNAI
Before: HON’BLE SHRI MANOJ KUMAR AGGARWAL, AM & HON’BLE SHRI MANU KUMAR GIRI, JM
O R D E R Manoj Kumar Aggarwal (Accountant Member) 1. 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 10-01-2024 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s. 143(3) of the Act on 12-04-2021. In the assessment order, Ld. AO withdrew exemption u/s 11 and assessed the income at Rs.210.16 Lacs. The assessee largely remained non- cooperative during assessment proceedings. The Ld. CIT(A) dismissed the appeal in limine for want of condonation of delay of 95 days and also in view of the fact that no grounds of appeal
were filed. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Ld. AR has sought another opportunity of hearing which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR.
2. 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 Ld. CIT(A) for de novo adjudication after affording opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to file grounds of appeal, explain the delay and substantiate its case forthwith failing which Ld. CIT(A) shall be at liberty to proceed with adjudication of appeal on the basis of material on record.
3. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
