ITAT orders for Re- adjudication due to Non-Consideration of Demonetization-Period Evidence

The ITAT has ordered the re-adjudication of a case due to the failure of the assessing officer (AO) to consider evidence related to the demonetization period. The evidence was crucial to the taxpayer’s case and could have influenced the outcome of the tax assessment. The tribunal emphasized that the AO must take into account all relevant information when making decisions. The order highlights the importance of a fair and thorough review of evidence during tax assessments. This ruling serves as a reminder to tax authorities to ensure due diligence and fairness in the adjudication process. The case will now be re-assessed with the inclusion of the overlooked evidence from the demonetization period.
