The A.O. shall consider whether the loan taken for ₹ 1,50,000 has been repaid. The assessee has also produced the confirmation, wherein it is clearly stated that the loan of ₹ 1,50,000 was received by cheque and amount was repaid vide cheque along with interest of ₹ 34,000 totaling to ₹ 1,84,000 on 14.03.2014. If these facts narrated in the confirmation are true, the addition of ₹ 1,50,000 is to be deleted by the A.O. It is ordered accordingly. Loan taken from Mr.Ramrathana - As assessee claims the loan received from Mr.Ramrathana has been repaid subsequently on 10.04.2014 vide cheque No.5593. However, the assessee has not submitted any evidence even before the Tribunal as regards the PAN and the mode of repayment of the loan. Hence, confirm the addition Assessee has contended that the amount of loan taken from both Sri.Manu K.P. and Smt.Roopa Manu has been paid in the subsequent year, thus that the matter needs to be examined afresh by the A.O. The A.O. is directed to delete the addition u/s 68 of the I.T.Act in respect of loans received from Sri Manu K.P. and Smt.Roopa Manu, if the assessee is able to prove that loan amount has been repaid (claim of the assessee it has been repaid in the year 2014). CIT(A) has enhanced the addition to ₹ 14,75,000 instead of ₹ 14,00,000 made by the A.O. It is not clear whether the CIT(A) has served enhancement notice to the assessee. Without serving enhancement notice, it is settled position of law that no enhancement can be made by the CIT(A). Therefore, I direct the A.O., after examining the issues that are restored to him, the total addition cannot exceed more than ₹ 14,00,000. (since I have confirmed an addition of ₹ 1,25,000, the A.O. shall limit the addition, if at all required to ₹ 12,75,000). Appeal filed by the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes.
