This is the review case of PRC Meeting No.16/AM22 dated 29.11.2021 (Case No.08) wherein the Committee has rejected the case. The applicant stated that they have submitted the online application on 21.09.2020. Due to the prevailing covid-19 pandemic, government has imposed lockdown and restrictions in the number of employees allowed to work and other work related restrictions were imposed. These restrictions have caused the shortage of manpower in their office which led to massive pending and backlogs of accounting entries and other works. Along with these pending works they could not even complete and submit the TMA applications on time. Therefore, there was delay in submission of physical copy by 27 days and they were able to submit the physical copy on 27.11.2020. Hence, they are requesting to condone the delay in submission of hard copy of TMA application for the period 01.01.2020 to 31.03.2020 under File no.08/21/102/50672/AM21 dated 21.09.2020.

Decision: The Committee reviewed and examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. The Committee observed that due to COVID-19 Pandemic, the firm has faced the problem which was beyond their control and accordingly decided to accede to the request for condonation of delay in submission of physical copy of TMA application for the period 01.01.2020 to 31.03.2020 (File no.08/21/102/50672/AM21 dated 21.09.2020).

Hence, they are requesting to condone the delay in submission of online TMA application for the period July 2020 to September 2020.

Decision: The Committee reviewed and examined the case on the basis of justification furnished by the firm and found no merit in the request and hence it decided to maintain rejection of the earlier decision of PRC in its Meeting No. 16/AM22 dated 29.11.2021(case no.23).
