Before: SHRI RAVISH SOOD
आदेश / ORDER PER RAVISH SOOD, JM The present appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order passed by the Commissioner of Income-Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Center (NFAC), Delhi, dated 04.07.2022, which in turn arises from the order passed by the A.O. under Sec.143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (in short ‘the Act’) dated 16.12.2019 for the assessment year 2017-18.
The defect memo was issued to the assessee wherein it was brought to his notice that there is a delay of 173 days in filing of the captioned appeal as against the period of 158 days shown by him in his application for condonation of delay. In the above-mentioned case, order was passed by the NFAC dated 04.07.2022 which as stated by the assessee at Column 3(c) of the memorandum of appeal received by him on the same date. In the backdrop of the aforesaid factual position defect memo was issued to the assessee on 24.02.2023, both at the e-mail address that was provided by him in Form 36 as well as through registered post, wherein he was called upon to explain as to why the delay involved in filing of the appeal may not be taken as 173 days. Although the assessee was afforded a time period of 10 days for filing an explanation, however he had

chosen not to file any reply as regards the same. In the backdrop of the aforesaid facts, I am of the considered view that the assessee has nothing to say as regards the letter issued by the registry with respect to the period of delay involved in filing of the captioned appeal. For the sake of clarity the defect memo issued by the registry is culled out as under:
4 Radheshyam Arya Vs. ITO, Bhatapara ITA No. 57/RPR/2023
As per the status of the track consignment of the registered letter i.e. consignment No.RC356566143IN, the defect memo was delivered to the assessee on 06.03.2023. For the sake of clarity the track consignment of the aforesaid defect memo is culled out as under:
5 Radheshyam Arya Vs. ITO, Bhatapara ITA No. 57/RPR/2023
Considering the aforesaid factual position, I am of the considered view that as the assessee had neither come forth with any explanation as regards the reasons leading to the aforesaid delay of 173 days, therefore, I am constrained to dismiss the captioned appeal which had been filed beyond the prescribed time limit as not maintainable.
In the result, appeal of the assessee is dismissed in terms of my aforesaid observations.
Order pronounced in open court on 20th day of April, 2023
