The ITAT Hyderabad ruled that an appeal cannot be dismissed merely because the assessment was framed under an old PAN and the appeal filed under a new, active PAN.

The case challenged the sustained addition of purchases solely because the supplier, though having active ITC, failed to respond to a tax notice or was inactive on the GST portal.
