of <h1>Tribunal restores appeal, emphasizes natural justice, orders fresh examination of share capital.</h1> <h3>M/s. AIC Sponge & Power Pvt. Ltd Versus ITO Ward 2 (2) Kolkata</h3> M/s. AIC Sponge & Power Pvt. Ltd Versus ITO Ward 2 (2) Kolkata - TMI Issues:1. Dismissal of appeal by Ld. CIT(A) ex-parte.2. Treatment of share capital and share premium as explained cash credit.3. Disallowance under section 14A.Issue 1: Dismissal of appeal by Ld. CIT(A) ex-parteThe assessee's appeal was dismissed by the Ld. CIT(A) as ex-parte due to non-compliance with hearing notices. The assessee claimed to have sought adjournments on three occasions, supported by applications duly received by the Ld. CIT(A) office. The Ld. CIT(A) failed to consider these applications, leading to a violation of the principle of natural justice. The Tribunal found merit in this contention, setting aside the ex-parte order and restoring the matter to the AO for a fresh decision after providing the assessee with another opportunity to be heard.Issue 2: Treatment of share capital and share premium as explained cash creditDuring assessment proceedings, the AO examined the claim of the assessee regarding received share capital and share premium. The AO issued a notice under section 131 for verification, requiring the assessee to justify the share premium amount. However, the assessee failed to comply despite sufficient opportunity, leading the AO to treat the entire amount as explained cash credit under section 68. The Tribunal acknowledged the lack of compliance but decided to send the matter back to the AO for a fresh examination on merit after providing the assessee with another opportunity to be heard.Issue 3: Disallowance under section 14AAdditionally, the AO made a disallowance under section 14A amounting to &8377; 67,918. This disallowance was part of the total income determination at &8377; 2,42,67,918. The Tribunal did not delve into this issue specifically as the focus was on the dismissal of the appeal and treatment of share capital and share premium. Consequently, the appeal of the assessee was treated as allowed for statistical purposes, and the matter was remanded to the AO for fresh assessment in compliance with the principles of natural justice and law.
