We have heard rival contentions and perused the material available on record. Revenue is not in appeal before us on the admission of additional evidence, besides CIT(A) called for remand report from assessing officer who chose not to submit his comments.

In view of these facts, relying on the judgment of Delhi High Court in the case of Oasis Hospitality (supra), we are of the view that the assessee has discharged its onus approving the share application money u/s 68. The addition is deleted. 4.3. Coming to remaining two minor share applications in respect of Davendra Kumar and Mool Chand, assessee has filed their confirmatory letters along with PAN numbers.

We are of the view that assessee has discharged its initial burden in terms of sec. 68 in respect of identity, creditworthiness and genuineness for these two share applicants who deposited Rs. 40,000/- each. In view thereof, we uphold the order of CIT(A) deleting this addition. Thus, ground no. 2 of the revenue's appeal is dismissed. 4.4. Coming to ground no. 3 in respect of balance credit of Rs. 6 lacs in account of ITSL, we have already held that the identity and creditworthiness of this party is established, transactions .....

Thereafter assessee approached the Axis Bank which issued a revised transaction slip correcting the mistake, which is placed on paper book at page no. 43 in which amount of Rs. 8,06,000/- is shown to have been collected from Global Infosys and TSR Financial. Thus assessee's explanation has been corroborated by the banks revised certificate. 4.8.
