PER N. K. BILLAIYA, AM:
This appeal by the assessee is preferred against the order dated 20.03.2023 by NFAC, Delhi pertaining to A.Y.2017-18.
The sum and substance of the grievance of the assessee is that no notice was effectively served upon the assessee and the first appellate authority erred in dismissing the appeal exparte.
The bone of contention is the following chart of notices send to the assessee on the mentioned e-mail address :- Notice Notice was issued ajaybansal179@gmail.com 1 Hearing 07.01.2021 Delivered Notice ajaybansal179@gmail.com 2 Hearing 10.06.2021 Delivered Notice ajaybansal179@gmail.com 3 Hearing 17.03.2022 Delivered Notice ajaybansal179@gmail.com 4 Hearing 05.08.2022 Delivered Notice ajaybansal179@gmail.com 5 Hearing 16.09.2022 Delivered Notice ajaybansal179@gmail.com 6 Hearing 28.09.2022 Delivered Notice ajaybansal179@gmail.com Hearing 07.10.2022 Delivered Notice ajaybansal179@gmail.com Hearing 09.01.2023 Delivered Notice
The contention of the assessee is that the e-mail Id on which the notices were sent has been mentioned as ajaybansal179@gmail.com where as the correct email address is ajaybansal79@gmail.com which is mentioned in form No.35 filed before the CIT(A).
On this undisputed fact we deem it fit to restore the appeal to the files of the CIT(A) and the CIT(A) is directed to decide the appeal afresh after affording a reasonable and adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee. The notice may be sent to ajaybansal79@gmail.com. 6. In the result the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purpose. 7. Decision announced in the open court on 11.12.2023.
