..... Shri C.S. Shah (HUF) has paid the amount on three different dates although the A.O. tried to find out the payment of ₹ 9,00,050/- as a total figure. Thus we do not find any merit in this grievance of the revenue and the same is dismissed. Capital gain - possession of the impugned gold ornaments sold during the year under consideration - Held that:- There is no dispute that the assessee was showing 1238.67 gms of gold from 1993-94. It is also not in dispute that in the year 2006-07, the assessee had purchased gold weighing 3417.64 gms. Merely, because the sale bills had two different addresses of the assessee, the same cannot be brushed aside lightly. More over as find from the findings of the First Appellate Authority, both the addresses are in fact of the same residential flat. Since the capital gains have arisen from the gold sold during the year the acquisition of which have been successfully explained by the assessee, we do not find any merit in the impugned grievance of the revenue and the same is dismissed. - ITA.

On verifying the source of purchase, the A.O. noticed that Shri Ankit C. Shah has shown an amount of ₹ 3,00,000/- towards purchase of the said residential flat. The A.O. further noticed that an amount of ₹ 9,00,000/- was shown by Shri C.S. Shah (HUF) towards the purchase of the residential flat. After perusing the relevant ledger account of Ankit C.

The assessee explained that the said amount has been received from her grandmother-in-law, who expired in 1989 inherited gold ornaments, which were sold for the consideration of ₹ 4,56,000/-. It was explained that inadvertently the accountant has shown the credit in the name of Rukhiben Shah instead of crediting the capital account of the assessee. The A.O. was of the opinion that the assessee has not furnished any document showing the transaction of inheritance.
