Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions), Hyderabad in F.No. CIT(E)/Hyd/402/119/(2)(b)/2019-20, dated 25/06/2021 passed U/s. 250 of the IT Act, 1961 for the AY: 2014-15. 2 2. The assessee has raised four grounds in its appeal and they are extracted herein below for reference: “1. The CIT(Exemptions) should have considered the latest Circular 10/2019 before rejecting the condonation of delay in f iling Form 10B. 2. The assessee is prevented by sufficient cause in not able to file the return of income in time. 3. The CPC should have considered the fact that the income of the Trust is exempt under the special provision of section 11 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and in the instant case all the conditions laid down are followed. 4. Any other ground that may be urged at the time of hearing of the appeal.” 3. At the outset, the Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that though this appeal was filed against the order of the Ld. Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions), Hyderabad rejecting the assessee’s application for condonation of delay in filing Form 10B of the Act, the said order of the Ld. Pr. CIT is not an appealable order and hence this appeal may be treated as withdrawn and not maintainable. The Ld. DR did not oppose to the submission and prayer of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee. 4. After hearing both the sides and considering the admitted position of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee that the order of the Ld. Pr. CIT (Exemptions) is not an appealable order before the 3 ITAT and hence the instant appeal may be treated as withdrawn on the ground that this appeal is not maintainable, we allow the prayer of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee and dismiss the present appeal as not maintainable. It is ordered accordingly. 5. In the result, appeal of the assessee is dismissed as withdrawn.
