1. Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2017-18
arises out of an order passed by Learned Commissioner of Income Tax
(Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] on
09-01-2024 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing
Officer [AO] u/s 143(3) of the Act on 30-12-2019.
2. The registry has noted a delay of 16 days in the appeal, the
condonation of which has been sought by Ld. AR on the strength of
affidavit of the assessee. Considering the contents of affidavit and period
of delay, the delay is condoned and we proceed for disposal of the
appeal on merits.
3. The impugned order is an ex-parte order. In the assessment order,
Ld. AO estimated addition @8% on cash deposited by the assessee.
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. The Ld. AR has pleaded for another opportunity of hearing
before lower authorities which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR.
4. 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. Therefore, the
impugned order is set aside and the matter is restored back to the file of
Ld. AO for de novo assessment after affording reasonable opportunity of
hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its
case and supply the requisite information failing which Ld. AO shall be at
liberty to frame the assessment on the basis of material on record.
5. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
