2015 (6) TMI 163 - ITAT DELHIAddition u/s 68 - money claimed to have been received as share capital - FAA deleted the addition - Held that:- As in CIT VS. Lovely Export (2008 (1) TMI 575 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA) which held that once the identity of the share holder have been established, even if there is a case of bogus share capital, it cannot be added in the hands of company unless any adverse evidence is not on record. Ld. First Appellate Authority has examined the documentary evidence filed by the assessee before the Assessing Officer as well as before him and held that the assessee has provided confirmations from all the parties as well as various evidences to establish the genuineness of the transaction, assessee has also relied upon the judgment of Nemi Chand Kothari Vs. CIT (2003 (9) TMI 62 - GAUHATI High Court) wherein it has held that it is a certain law that the assessee is to prove the genuineness of transaction as well as the creditworthiness of the creditor must remain confined to the transactions which have taken place between the assessee and the creditor. It is not the business of assessee to find out the source of money of creditors. Similar observation has also been given in the case of Hastimal (1962 (12) TMI 60 - MADRAS HIGH COURT) and Daulatram Rawatmal (1972 (9) TMI 9 - SUPREME Court). Thus the assessee has substantiated the transaction regarding share application money received by it was genuine transaction and the same were not accommodation entries. He did not find any evidence collected by the AO which could prove otherwise and deleted the additions in dispute. As regard to the addition of ₹ 12,500/- made on account of commission which was presumed to have been allowed by the assessee for obtaining the Hawala entry in dispute, the ld. CIT(A) observed that the Assessing Officer was not able to brought anything on record that it was assessee’s own money which was rooted in the form of share application money and has rightly deleted the same. - Decided against revenue.
