Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2017-18 arises out of an order passed by Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] on 09-01-2024 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s 143(3) of the Act on 30-12-2019. 2. The registry has noted a delay of 16 days in the appeal, the condonation of which has been sought by Ld. AR on the strength of affidavit of the assessee. Considering the contents of affidavit and period of delay, the delay is condoned and we proceed for disposal of the appeal on merits. 3. The impugned order is an ex-parte order. In the assessment order, Ld. AO estimated addition @8% on cash deposited by the assessee. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the same since the assessee failed to make any representation therein. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Ld. AR has pleaded for another opportunity of hearing before lower authorities which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR. 4. Though the assessee has remained negligent, however, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to grant another opportunity to the assessee to substantiate its case. Therefore, the impugned order is set aside and the matter is restored back to the file of Ld. AO for de novo assessment after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case and supply the requisite information failing which Ld. AO shall be at liberty to frame the assessment on the basis of material on record. 5. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced on 3 rd June, 2024 Sd/- Sd/- (ABY T.
