Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, INDORE BENCH, INDORE
Before: Ms. MADHUMITA ROY& SHRI BHAGIRATH MAL BIYANI
The instant appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order dated 30.03.2022 passed by theNational Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi,arising out of the order dated 21.05.2019passed by the DCIT, CPCunder section 143(1)of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred as to ‘the Act’) for Assessment Year 2018-19.
(Shri Meghraj Raghuvanshivs.ITO) Asst.Year.–2018-19- 2 -
None appeared on behalf of the assessee at the time of call. However, it appears that the appellant has challenged the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) in upholding the addition of Rs.2,47,500/- under Section 40(a)(ia) of the Act while passing the intimation under Section 143(1) of the Act.
We have perused the order passed by the NFAC, Delhi, dated 30.03.2022 impugned before us from where it appears that notice under Section 250 of the Act dated 18.01.2021 and 17.02.2022 were issued to the assessee requesting for online submission, if any, whereupon the assessee on 08.03.2022 asked adjournment for 15 to 20 days. Subsequently, on 09.03.2022, fresh notice was issued for compliance of the assessee by 28.03.2022 as final opportunity. The assessee has not filed any detail in support of his case made out. The order passed by the Ld. AO disallowing of Rs.2,47,500/- as expenditure indicated in audit report has been upheld. 3.1 It is an admitted position that for some reason, the assessee could not represent his case. Thus, it is desirable to dispose of the matter on merit without granting opportunity of being heard to the assessee to substantiate his claim for proper adjudication of the issue involved in the matter. Hence, with these observations, we find it fit and proper to set aside the issue to the file of Ld.CIT(A) for fresh adjudication of the same upon granting opportunity of being heard to the assessee as per law and upon taking into consideration the evidence on record or any other evidence which assessee may choose to file at the time of hearing of the matter during the course of Appellate Proceeding. We also make it clear that the assessee would also co-operate with the Ld. CIT(A) without (Shri Meghraj Raghuvanshivs.ITO) Asst.Year.–2018-19- 3 - asking for any unnecessary adjournment. In default, the Ld. CIT(A) is at liberty to proceed and decide the issue strictly in accordance with law.
In the result, assessee’s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced on 30 /11/2022 by placing the result on the Notice Board as per Rule 34(4) of the Income Tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rule, 1963.
