Bot Summary: Succinctly, the facts of the case are that the assessee filed return declaring Nil income. The AO examined the assessee s claim in terms of section 11 and made disallowance of depreciation amounting to Rs.19,38,802/-. CIT(A) rejected the assessee s contention vide para 5.3 of his order by holding that this aspect was raised for the first time before him. The assessee is aggrieved against the decision of the ld. CIT(A) did not grant such exemption by finding that this claim was made for the first time during the appellate proceedings, the return of income clearly mentions the assessee s claim u/s 10(23C)(iiiad). A copy of such 2 ITA No.1904/Del/2016 return is available on record from which it is discernible that the assessee did make a claim for exemption u/s 10(23C)(iiiad). Since such claim needs to be examined on merits, I am of the considered opinion that the ends of justice would meet adequately if the impugned order is set aside and the matter is restored to the file of AO. I order accordingly and direct him to examine the assessee s claim for exemption u/s 10(23C)(iiiad) and consequently frame the assessment.


IN INCOME TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL DELHI BENCHES : SMC-I : NEW DELHI BEFORE SHRI R.S. SYAL, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER ITA No.1904/Del/2016 Assessment Year : 2010-11 R.B. Gautam Sewa Sansthan, Vs. JCIT, C/o M/s N. Bhushan & Co., Range-2, CAs, Ghaziabad. C-12/114, First Floor, DB Plaza, RDC, Raj Nagar, Ghaziabad. PAN: AAATR5342L (Appellant) (Respondent) Assessee By : Shri Saubhagya Agarwal & Shri Saurabh Gupta, Advocates Department By : Shri Rajesh Kumar, Sr. DR Date of Hearing : 28.09.2016 Date of Pronouncement : 28.09.2016 ORDER This appeal filed by assessee is directed against order passed by CIT(A) on 14.1.2016 in relation to assessment year 2010-11. 2. First three ground were not pressed by ld. AR, which hereby stand dismissed as not pressed. ITA No.1904/Del/2016 3. only other issue challenged is about not considering assessee s claim for exemption u/s 10(23C)(iiiad) of Act. 4. Succinctly, facts of case are that assessee filed return declaring Nil income. AO examined assessee s claim in terms of section 11 and made disallowance of depreciation amounting to Rs.19,38,802/-. assessee argued before ld. CIT(A) that its income was exempt u/s 10(23C)(iiiad) and, hence, there was no point in applying provisions of section 11. ld. CIT(A) rejected assessee s contention vide para 5.3 of his order by holding that this aspect was raised for first time before him. assessee is aggrieved against decision of ld. CIT(A) on this point. 5. I have heard rival submissions and perused relevant material on record. It is noticed that only issue is as to whether assessee was eligible for exemption u/s 10(23C)(iiiad) of Act. Whereas ld. CIT(A) did not grant such exemption by finding that this claim was made for first time during appellate proceedings, return of income clearly mentions assessee s claim u/s 10(23C)(iiiad). copy of such 2 ITA No.1904/Del/2016 return is available on record from which it is discernible that assessee did make claim for exemption u/s 10(23C)(iiiad). Under such circumstances, it cannot be said that assessee raised claim for exemption for first time during appellate proceedings. Since such claim needs to be examined on merits, I am of considered opinion that ends of justice would meet adequately if impugned order is set aside and matter is restored to file of AO. I order accordingly and direct him to examine assessee s claim for exemption u/s 10(23C)(iiiad) and consequently frame assessment. 6. In result, appeal is partly allowed for statistical purposes. order pronounced in open court on 28.09.2016. Sd/- [R.S.
