The Assessing Officer completed the assessment by making an addition of Rs.1,41,01,978 under section 69A of the Income Tax Act 1961. The assessee appealed against the order of the Assessing Officer before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)/NFAC, Delhi, who dismissed the appeal for not condoning the delay of 776 days in filing the appeal. The assessee then appealed to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
