In the facts and circumstances of the case, Ld. CIT (A), NFAC erred in confirming tax and interest of Rs. 3,29,471/- u/s. 201(1) & 201(1A). The tax and interest levied by A.O and confirmed by the Ld. CIT(A), NFAC is illegal, not allowing adequate opportunity of being heard, contrary to provisions of law and not justified. 2. The appellant reserves the right to add, amend or modify any of the grounds of appeal." 2. Succinctly stated, the assessee, which is a State Government department, was subjected to a TDS survey u/s. 133A of the Act on 06.10.2017.

Accordingly, finding no merit in the appeal filed by the assessee, which is clearly devoid and bereft of any merit, I dismiss the same. Thus, the Ground of appeal No.1 raised by the assessee is dismissed in terms of the aforesaid observations. 12. Before parting, I may herein observe that as the order relied upon by the Ld. AR of M/s. Ajay Construction Vs. Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, ITA No.259/BIL/2016, dated 08.06.2022, is distinguishable on facts; therefore, the same will not assist its case.
