Tribunal Overturns Tax Orders, Calls for New Assessment With Detailed Reasoning and Opportunity for Appellant Hearing.
The tribunal set aside the non-speaking orders of the CIT(A) and the Assessing Officer, remanding the case for a fresh assessment. The Assessing Officer is directed to issue a reasoned order on the relief u/s 89 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, after providing the appellant an opportunity to be heard. The appeal was allowed.
Issues Involved: Appeal against dismissal of relief u/s 89 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 by CIT(A) without adjudication.
Summary: The appeal was filed against the order of the Ld. Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) dismissing the assessee's appeal without adjudicating on the disallowance of relief u/s. 89 of the Act made in the assessment order. The appellant had challenged the action of the Assessing Officer in allowing relief u/s 89 at a lower amount than claimed.
The appellant approached the tribunal on the ground that the CIT(A) erred in dismissing the appeal without considering the variance between the relief claimed by the assessee and the relief allowed by the Assessing Officer.
During the hearing, the representative for the assessee argued that neither the Assessing Officer nor the CIT(A) discussed the assessee's submissions regarding the relief u/s 89. The Assessing Officer had granted relief at a lower amount than claimed by the assessee.
The learned DR contended that as per the proviso to Section 89 of the Act, no relief can be granted for amounts received on voluntary retirement or termination of service. However, it was acknowledged that neither the Assessing Officer nor the CIT(A) provided a reasoned order for denying the relief.
Upon reviewing the submissions and documents, the tribunal found that the assessment order and the CIT(A) order did not address the main issue of relief u/s 89. It was emphasized that quasi-judicial authorities are required to pass reasoned orders as per principles of natural justice.
Consequently, the tribunal set aside the non-speaking orders of the CIT(A) and the Assessing Officer, directing the case to be returned to the Assessing Officer for a fresh reasoned assessment order after providing the appellant an opportunity to be heard.
In conclusion, the appeal was allowed, and the order was pronounced on the specified date.
