Gifts - Gift received through cheque in kind in form of Immovable assets - genuiness of gift - love and affection - cash credit - addition u/s 68 read with section 56(1) - Held that: - There are pure findings of facts recorded by the two authorities below on the basis of evidence adduced which was sufficient to discharge the onus as well as burden caused upon her by proving the identity of donors, their credit worthiness as well as genuineness of the gifts. It has been established that the assets of Sh.Ashok Jain as on 31.03.2003 including movable/immovable assets were of Rs.1.25 crores, whereas the liability owned by Sh.Ashok Jain was only Rs.11.88 lacs less Rs.10.78 lacs. Keeping the assets owned by Sh.Ashok Jain we are of the considered view that he had the capacity to make gifts in question. All gifts are absolute and without any lien of anyone. There is no evidence on record to prove that the assessee has favoured the donor in any manner whatsoever by acquiring the gifts in question. The capacity of any person does not mean how much they earn monthly or annually, but the term capacity has vided term and that can be perceived by how wealthy he is. All the formalities, as per law are met by the assessee and donors as well. All the donors have admitted that they are great admirer of the assessee as she is working for the upliftment of poor people. - Decided in favor of assessee.

constitutional validity of Section 194LA - if the amount of compensation was paid immediately after the Award, then there would have been no question of deducting tax at source under Section 194LA - The object of Section 194LA as per the CBDT Circular No.5 of 2005 dated 15th July 2005 is to curb the tendency of evading taxes by not reporting the income comprised in the compensation received on acquisition of immovable property - the argument that Section 194LA purports to imposetax on the cost of the land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act is without any merit - the petition is dismissed

Search and seizure - Block assessment - no enquiry of any sort was made by the Assessing Officer from the persons named in the seized paper or for that matter from M/s. Jamshedpur Cement Ltd. Mr. Khaitan, contends that in the circumstances, the Tribunal should have accepted the position that the seized paper did not reflect any actual transaction of purchase or sale of shares - It is rightly pointed out by Mr. Shome that additional evidence can be adduced before the CIT (Appeals) on compliance of the statutory provisions for acceptance of the same and formal application must be filed and at the same time, specific order must be recorded by the CIT (Appeals) allowing such prayer and specifying the point on which such additional evidence should be taken - Tribunal rightly held that the admission made by the assessee at the time of search was not properly explained and thus, the principles laid down in the above decision where the finding was based on surmise cannot have any application to the facts of the present case - Decided against the assessee
