2024 (2) TMI 881 - AT - Income TaxAddition u/s 68 - bogus LTCG - penny stock transaction - AO heavily relied on the investigations carried out by the Investigation Wing of the Department - HELD THAT:- We observe that the assessee is not the regular investor and had specifically made the investment in the scrip under consideration. It is fact on record that the financials of the company are not commensurate with the purchase and sale price in the market. The assessee has purchased the shares from open market, D-mated the scrips and subsequently sold the same in the stock exchange. It clearly raises several doubt on the purchase and sales transactions recorded in this case. There is no discrepancies in the documents filed by the assessee claiming the deductions u/s 10(38) of the Act. At the same time, even though all the characteristics of the penny stock exists in the present case, still the revenue has not brought on record any materials linking the assessee in any dubious transactions relating to entry, price rigging or exit providers. We can only presume that the assessee is one of the beneficiary in this transactions merely an investor, who has entered in investment fray to make quick profit. Even the assessing officer has applied the presumptions and concept of human probabilities to make the additions without their being any material against the assessee. Thus grounds raised by the assessee allowed.
