OTRV.91/16
Act was completed. The first appellate authority did not interfere with the assessments made, except regarding the addition of `22,111.69. It was still aggrieved, the assessee had filed an appeal before the Tribunal. Order of the Tribunal shows that two issues were raised before it. First was whether the denial of the request of the appellant for permission to file revised return was for proper and valid reason. The second issue raised was whether the estimation and addition of probable omission and suppression was justified.
4.In so far as the first question regarding the denial of permission for filing revised return is concerned, reading of the order of the Tribunal shows that the proceedings under section 74 was completed on 21.4.2010, whereby the assessee had compounded the offence by paying fee of `4,00,000/-. However, the assessee requested for permission to file revised return only on 8.7.2011. It was taking note of the inordinate delay on the part of the assessee that the permission to file revised return was declined.
