2019 (2) TMI 1921 - AT - Income TaxReopening of assessment u/s 147 - Report received from Investigation Wing regarding share capital being received from the two companies - HELD THAT:- Assessee has received share capital from Geefcee Finance Ltd. and from Mahanivesh (India) Ltd. It has filed confirmation, bank Financial Stock statement, ITR and Audited Financial Stock statement of both these companies. The assessment thereafter was completed under section 143(3) of the Act by the AO vide order dated 27.12.2007 meaning thereby the AO has accepted the contention of the assessee. Thereafter the assessment was reopened by issue of notice under section 148 of the Act. After reopening of assessment the AO has not made any further inquiry. In fact, in the assessment order after making a reference to the report received from investigation wing, the AO has not stated anything particular to the assessee. The AO has also not commented adversely on any of the document available on record regarding these two companies. In view of these facts, the document submitted by the assessee were not rebutted by the AO. It is noted that the reliance placed by the AR on the various judgments supports the case of the assessee whereby it has been held that in the absence of any inquiry made by the AO the addition on this account can’t be sustained. In the present case falls in the other category as the assessment order is silent about the documents available on record in support of the share capital received by the appellant company. We find that there is no adverse observations or comment about the document available on record and submitted by the assessee in support of the share capital received by it in the original assessment proceedings on the basis of which assessment order dated 27.12.2007 was passed under section 143(3) of the Act. The AO having got the information from the investigation wing, the least he could do to make inquiry from the shareholders, the details of which were already on the record. Thus we delete the addition in dispute and allow the grounds raised by the assessee.
