HRI.VIJAY PAL RAO , JUDICIAL MEMBER Appellant by : Mr. Praveen Godbole, C.A. Respondent by : Mr. A.K. Singh, Sr. DR ORDER Vijay Pal Rao, Judicial Member This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order dated 14.03.2019 of CIT(A) for the assessment year 2015-16. The assessee has raised the following grounds:- 1. That in any view of the matter the assessment made an income of ₹ 41,64,141/- vide order dated 16/11/2017 passed u/s. 144 of the Income Tax Act is bad both on the facts and in law and the loss declared in the return should have been accepted. 2. That in any view of the matter after filing of return no notice u/s. 143(2) of the IT act has been served on the assessee which is a mandatory r .....

Though the assessee has challenged the validity of assessment for want of service of notice under section 143(2) of the Income Tax Act however, during the course of argument nothing has been brought on record on behalf of the assessee to negate the fact that the notice under section 143(2) dated 14.09.2016 was served on the assessee as per the receipt dated 16.09.2016. On the contrary, the department has filed the relevant record including the order-sheet of the assessment proceedings as well as the copy of the notice issued under section 143(2) dated 14.09.2016 which was received by the assessee/AR on 16. .....

Therefore, the action of the Assessing Officer is highly arbitrary and unjustified. The learned AR has further contended that the adoption of the net profit @ 10% by the Assessing Officer which is restricted to 5% is also arbitrary and exorbitant without any basis. He has referred to the comparative chart at page 6A of the paper book and submitted that the Assessing Officer has accepted the net profit rate declared by the assessee for the assessment year 2013-14 @ 2.78% and loss declared by the assessee for the assessment year 2014-15. Thus the learned AR has contended that without cons ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... epted the said addition under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020. He has pointed out that the appeal filed by the assessee for the assessment year 2014-15 in ITA No. 42/Alld/2019 was dismissed as withdrawn in pursuance to the assessee opted for Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020. He has relied upon the orders of the authorities below. 8. I have considered the rival submissions as well as relevant material available on record. There is no dispute that the return of income filed by the assessee does not disclose and contain the necessary information and details as required. Except the total income declared nil, no other details are given in the return of income. The Assessing Officer issued notices under section 143(2) as well as various notices iss .....

Hence the matter is set aside to the record of the Assessing Officer to re-adjudicate the issue in the above mentioned terms. The appe ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
