In addition to this, copy of bank account from where these share capital was received was also furnished. In my considered view, these documents clearly established the identity, genuineness of transactions and creditworthiness of the creditor. This way the appellant has discharged the onus cast upon him by the provisions of Section 68 of the IT.Act. 5.4 It is a matter of record that the appellant has received share capital of ₹ 2,73,51,600/- during the year under consideration. Out of this receipt, the A.O. had made an addition of ₹ 21,72,7007-u/s.68 of the I.T.Act. It is clearly held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Loveli Export Pvt.

(ii)Interest is paid in respect of capital borrowed. (iii)The acquisition of asset should be for the purpose of extension of an existing business or profession. (iv)Interest liability may or may not be capitalized. I have carefully considered the facts of the case. In the instant case the A.O. has not identified capital borrowed for acquiring or raising the capital work-in-progress. Since the A.O. has not identified the capital borrowed, accordingly the first condition as mentioned above is not fulfilled. Since the basic condition of proviso to section 36(1)(iii) is not fulfilled, accordingly in my considered view interest cannot be capitalized as per these provisions. It is also seen that the A.O. has capitalized interest on proportionate basis. Perusal of provisions of proviso to section 36(1)(iii), which has been discussed in detail above, reveals that these provisions does not provide for capitalization of interest on proportionate basis. In view of above facts, I am of the considered view that the A.O. has not ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... osing stock which is part of accounting policy. The A.O. cannot change method of accounting regularly followed by the assessee without valid reasons. (b) Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Chainrup Sampatram (1953) reported on 24 ITR 481 has clearly arise out of valuation of closing stock and situs of its arising or accruing where the valuation is made and valuation of unsold stock is necessary part of the process of determining trading results but it can in no sense be regarded as source of such profit. (c) It is clearly held in the case of CIT v/s. Ahmedabad New Cotton Mills reported at 4 ITC 245 that when the opening and closing stock of business are both undervalued, if the method of alteration of both valuation is not adopted, it is perfectly plain that profits which is brought forward is not real one. In such cases, the real profits of a particular year cannot be ascertained by merely raising value of closing stock, not taking into consideration the similar valuation of opening stock. As per the ratio of this case, enhancing the value of closing stock without giving corresponding effect to the valuation of opening stock is not proper. (d) The app .....

Therefore, after considering the detailed findings of Ld.CIT(A), we do not find any reason to interfere in the order of Ld.CIT(A). 10. Regarding disallowance of interest made by the Ld.AO as per the provision of sec.36(1)(iii) as discussed above in the ground no.2 of the assessee, we noticed that the Assessing Officer has stated that interest attributable to the funds utilized for acquiring fixed assets has not been capitalized by the assessee and he further held that assessee has also not proved the fund flow statement.
