Tribunal directs AO to delete disallowances, accept return, and permit loss carry forward. Decision on 31/05/2021.
The Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, directing the AO to delete all disallowances, accept the return, and permit the carry forward of losses to subsequent years. The decision was pronounced on 31/05/2021.
Issues: Appeal against order passed by CIT(A) for A.Y. 2007-08, Validity of return filed by assessee, Disallowances made by AO, Failure to issue statutory notices, Treatment of return as invalid, Disallowances on without prejudice basis, Appealability of orders, Direction by CIT to treat return as valid, Compliance with CIT's directions, Annulment of assessment.
Analysis: The appeal was filed against the order passed by CIT(A) for the assessment year 2007-08. The assessee had electronically filed its return of income, but the AO found it invalid due to lack of signature by the authorized signatory. Consequently, the AO treated the return as invalid, disallowed carry forward of losses, and proposed various disallowances. The CIT(A) dismissed the appeal as not maintainable under Section 246A. The assessee then filed a revision petition under Section 264 before the CIT, who directed the AO to treat the return as valid. Subsequently, the AO passed an order giving effect to the CIT's directions but still made disallowances as originally proposed, leading to another appeal by the assessee.
The Tribunal observed that the AO's initial order was passed without mentioning the section, treating the return as non-est, and making disallowances without proper notices. The CIT's direction to treat the return as valid was not fully complied with by the AO, who should have accepted the return without additional disallowances. The Tribunal noted that the AO failed to issue fresh notices for disallowances and made them without show-cause notices, rendering them invalid. The Tribunal also considered the argument regarding non-issuance of statutory notices, although not raised as a ground of appeal, and directed the AO to delete all disallowances, accept the return, and allow the carry forward of losses.
In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, directing the AO to delete all disallowances, accept the return, and permit the carry forward of losses to subsequent years. The decision was pronounced on 31/05/2021.
