2018 (9) TMI 1233 - AT - Income TaxAddition on account of unexplained cash credit U/s 68 r.w.s. 115BBE - Held that - AO has not brought any material on record to controvert the fact duly established by the supporting evidence of purchase bills payment of consideration through bank dematerialization of shares in the DEMAT account allotment of the shares amalgamated new entity in lieu of the earlier two companies of equal number of shares. Sale of shares from the DEMAT account through stock exchange and at the prevailing price as on the date of sale and further payment of STT on the transaction of sale has been duly established. In absence of any contrary fact the mere reliance by the Assessing Officer on the report of Investigation Wing Kolkata is not sufficient to establish the fact that the transaction is bogus. The finding of the Assessing Officer is based merely on the suspicion and surmises without any tangible material to show that the assessee has introduced his own unaccounted income in the share of long term capital gain even otherwise the reliance of the statements recorded by the Investigation Wing Kolkata wherein without giving an opportunity of cross examination is a complete violation of principles of natural justice as held by the Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of CCE Vs Andaman Timber Industries 2005 (3) TMI 763 - SUPREME COURT . The Coordinate Bench has also followed the decision of the Hon ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT Vs. Pooja Agarwal 2017 (9) TMI 1104 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT wherein duly considered the fact that the Assessing Officer has not brought any material on record to show that the assessee has paid over and above the purchase consideration as claimed and evident from the bank account. Therefore in absence of any evidence it cannot be held that the assessee has introduced his own unaccounted money by way of bogus long term capital gain. Accordingly in view of above facts and circumstances we do not find any error or illegality in the order of the ld. CIT(A) qua this issue. Hence this ground of revenue s appeal is dismissed. Unexplained commission expenses U/s 69C - Held that - We have heard the ld DR as well as the ld AR of the assessee and considered the relevant material on record. This is a consequential issue to the addition made by the Assessing Officer U/s 68 treating long term capital gain as accommodation entries for bogus claim of exempt income and consequently the Assessing Officer has also made an addition on account of expenditure being unexplained commission expenses on such transaction of accommodation entries.
