CIT(A) further noted that details of the names and addresses of the donors has not been proved to be wrong or those persons have not donated to the assessee-trust. He, therefore, held that for these reasons also the donation received by the assessee-trust cannot be considered to be anonymous donation by virtue of sub-section (3) of Section 115BBC of the I.T. Act, 1961. Before us, no fallacy in the findings of the CIT(A) has been pointed out by the Revenue. In such a situation, we find no reason to interfere with the order of the Ld. CIT(A) and thus, the grounds raised by the Revenue are dismissed. - Shri Anil Chaturvedi, Accountant Member And Shri Anubhav Sharma, Judicial Member For the Appellant : Ms. Sarita Kumari, CIT-DR For the Respondent : Shri Shailesh Gupta, C.A.

D.R. supported the order of A.O. 8. The Learned Counsel for the Assessee, on the other hand, reiterated the submissions made before the lower authorities and supported the order of the Ld. CIT(A). 9. We have heard the Learned Representatives of both the parties and perused the material on record. We find that the Ld. CIT(A) while deleting the addition noted that despite the direction of Ld. CIT in the order passed under section 263 of the I.T. Act, 1961 wherein the A.O. was directed to make de-novo assessment after considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the A.O. did not make any further enquiry or investigation in respect of the donations on the pretext that A.O. had no power of reviewing the order passed previously and his power was only restricted to the extent of rectifying the mistakes which are apparent on the face of the record. This finding of the A.O. did not find favour with the Ld. CIT(A). The Ld. CIT(A) while deleting the addition has noted that if a person receives donation and maintains the record of identity and addr .....

He was of the view that when the donor has denied to have made donations means that the details about the receipt of donation was not correctly maintained by the assessee-trust and thus, the anonymous donation of Rs.1.46 crores allegedly received from M/s. Adivasi Mahila Vikas Samiti was treated as anonymous donation and taxable under section 115BBC of the I.T. Act, 1961 and no deduction of the same was held to be allowable on account of application of income under section 13(7) of the I.T. Act, 1961 to the assessee-trust. 14. Aggrieved by the order of the Ld. CIT(A), the Assessee-Trust is now in appeal before us. 15.
