2018 (12) TMI 1316 - AT - Income TaxAddition u/s.68 - unexplained cash credit - identity, genuineness and credit worthiness of share applicants - Held that:- CIT(A) recorded a finding to the effect that assessee had discharged its onus to prove the transaction and that AO has not brought any contrary documentary evidence on record to dispute the transaction and involvement of unaccounted money belonging to the assessee, CIT(A) also recorded a finding to the effect that on perusal of bank statement of share applicants, it is observed that there are no cash deposit corresponding to cheques issued towards share application money. Even in remand report, the AO had not brought any contrary material to disprove the transaction and had not found any fault in the documents furnished by the assessee, accordingly it was held by CIT(A) that assessee had reasonably discharged its onus to prove the identity, creditworthiness and genuineness of transaction. In view of the documentary evidence furnished which included PAN details, registration certificate, share application forms, board resolution of share applicants, affidavit and confirmation of the share applicants, IT returns, balance sheet and bank statements of share applicants and assessment orders u/s 143(3) in respect of two share applicants. We found that CIT(A) has dealt with the issue threadbare in respect of each share applicant and after applying various judicial pronouncements to the facts of the case and the documents placed on record reached to the conclusion that all the three ingredients of Section 68 i.e., identity, genuineness and credit worthiness of share applicants are duly complied with, accordingly, no addition is warranted. The findings so recorded by CIT(A) are as per material on record which do not require any interference on our part. - Decided against revenue
