2024 (4) TMI 751 - HC - Income TaxAddition u/s 68 on account of share capital and premium - addition made on absence of identity of the creditors, genuineness and creditworthiness of the entire transaction - ITAT deleted addition - HELD THAT:- Findings recorded by the Tribunal, is not supported by facts. AO has held that the assessee was a Private Limited company which cannot issue shares in the same manner in which Public Limited company does and in so far as creditworthiness of the share subscribers is concerned, there must be positive evidence to show the nature and source of resources of the share subscribers and if the assessee was serious enough to establish his case, it ought to have complied with the notices/letters issued by the Assessing Officer and ought to have produced the directors of the subscribing companies before the AO so that they could explain the sources from which the share subscription was made. As stated that there is no complaints either from the end of the assessee company or from the end of the alleged subscriber company. This finding recorded by the AO as affirmed by the CIT(A), if required to be set aside by the Tribunal, reasons have to be assigned. Therefore, we find that the conclusion arrived at by Tribunal is insufficient to support its ultimate conclusion in allowing the assessee’s appeal. Therefore, we are of the view that the matter has to be remanded back to the Tribunal for fresh consideration. Revenue appeal is allowed. The order passed by the learned Tribunal is set aside and the matter is remanded to the Tribunal to take a fresh decision.
