..... nce the assessee has willingness to produce all the records, therefore, in our opinion, it would be appropriate if the matter is remanded back to the file of CIT(A). The order of CIT(A) clearly shows that the rectification order was passed by the Assessing Officer on the basis of internal audit party report whereby the audit party was of the opinion that instead of 2%, 8% commission rate should have been applied. Prima facie, the above said basis for rectifying the order passed by the Assessing Officer is not permissible in law.

Despite several opportunities during appellate proceedings, the appellant did not give any evidence to support his claim. In these facts and circumstances, I am in agreement with the action of the Assessing Officer and hold that the appellant is unable to substantiate any of his grounds and is not able to controvert the rectification order. 8.

In the present case, the ld.CIT(A) has noted in para 5.1 of his order that no reply has been furnished by the assessee and that the assessee not even responded to the notice served upon him. Since the assessee has .....
