2018 (8) TMI 867 - HC - Income Tax

Assessment u/s 153A - allegation of generation of unaccounted money and also transfer of such money in exchange of share capital - proving any accommodation entry - reliance on third party statement - CIT(A) and ITAT deleted the additions - Held that:- The ITAT on a very detailed examination was satisfied about identity, creditworthiness and genuineness of the investor companies and held that there the assessee had discharged the primary onus to prove their creditworthiness and genuineness. The ITAT in concurring with the first appellate authority found that the assessing officer has made addition under section 68 of the Act without any reasonable basis. The first appellate authority has analyzed the transaction with each and every creditor and assigned reasons as to why the loan(s) have to be treated as genuineness and upheld the order of the first appellate authority ie., Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and held that it did not suffer from any legal infirmity.

A decision on the fact of ITAT can be gone into by this court only if a question has been referred to it which says that the finding of the tribunal on facts is perverse. - No substantial question of law arises - Decided against the revenue.
