The assessee has raised following grounds of appeal: "(1) The learned CIT(Exemption) was not justified in rejecting application u/s 12AB, particularly when all the details sought were fully complied. (2) The learned CIT(E) took a very narrow view in the matter and was driven by extraneous consideration. (3) The appellant craves leave to add, alter or vary any of the grounds of appeal." 2. Brief facts of the case are that the assessee is filed an application for registration under Section 12AB of the Act in Form 10AB in accordance with Rule 17A of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, (in short, the Rules) on 07/09/2022 .

Aggrieved by the order of ld. CIT(E), the assessee has filed present appeal before this Tribunal. 3. We have heard the submissions of learned Authorized Representative (ld.

The ld AR for assessee submits that he is ready to make correction in the Form- 10AB and at other places with the satisfaction of ld CIT(E). 5. On the other hand, the ld.

The assessee was not given opportunity either to explain the mismatch or to get such mismatch to correct, thus, in our view, the assessee deserve one more opportunity to correct their name, wherever required, therefore, we deem it appropriate to restore the issue back to the file of ld.
