It is therefore prayed that the above addition made by assessing Officer and confirmed by learned Commissioner of Income tax (Appeals) may be deleted. 3. Appellant craves leave to add, alter or delete any ground(s) either before or in the course of hearing of the appeal. The issue raised by the assessee is that the Ld. CIT (A) erred in restricting the addition made by the AO for Rs. 4,32,13,153/- out of the total addition of Rs. 4,75,71,951/- on account of unexplained investment. 2. Brief facts of the case are that the assessee is an Individual and declared income from the source of pension and interest in the year under consideration. 2.1 The AO on the basis of AIR information found that the assesse has deposited cash amounting to Rs. 32,35,000/- in his Central Bank of India bank account and similarly Rs. 19,00,000/- in his HDFC bank account. Moreover it was also reported that the assessee has purchased an immovable property on 18-02-2010 for Rs. 2,25,08,550/- only.

Thus the AO made an addition of Rs. 55,99,400/- towards total income of the assesse as unexplained cash credits within the meaning of section 68 of the Act. Regarding the unsecured loan of Rs. 132.26 lacs 2.10 The AO in the scrutiny proceedings of KIT Pvt Ltd noted that the assessee, in the capacity of director, provided unsecured loans to the company amounting to Rs. 75.26 Lakhs during the year. Similarly another director Smt. Margi Darpan Shah daughter-in-law of assessee has also deposited Rs. 57.00 Lakhs in the company through the bank account of the assessee. He further admitted vide a letter dated 24-12-2012 that he provided loans of Rs. 22 Lakhs and Rs. 35 Lakhs on the dates 24-11-2009 & 26-11-2009 respectively to his daughter-in-law which was further deposited in the company KIT Pvt Ltd.

The funds available in the account of Vandana M shah was transferred from the company KIT Pvt Ltd or from his bank accounts. The details stand as under: Date Bank Name Cheque No. Amount (Rs.)

In order to verify the statement of the assesse, that he made part payment for purchase of property out of the FD, the AO called upon the details of FD which is available on page no 12-13 of Ld. CIT order. 3.6 The AO further issued notice u/s 133(6) of the Act dated 26-05-2015 to Mahesh Kumar Chotalal Thakkar where in his reply, he admitted that the bills were i .....

As the sources of such FDs were explained accordingly the prematurity amount of Rs. 9.25 lakhs was also considered as explained. As the whole premature FDs amount including interest was already added as unexplained investment, therefore the remaining unexplained credits works out to Rs. 3,30,44,153 minus (Rs. 9,35,000/- + Rs. 9,25,000/- + Rs. 23,00,000/-) Rs. 2,88,84,153/-. 4.3 The Ld. CIT (A) further observed that out of the above unexplained deposits, investment in purchase of land was made for Rs. 1,12,54,275/- on dated 20-02-2010 and similarly an identical amounts was invested from the bank account of Vandana Shah, wife of the assessee. The amount invested by Vandana Shah of Rs. 17,00,000/- and Rs. 53,00,000/- on dated 01-12-2009 and 22-02-2010 respectively was transferred from the account of the assessee. Thus the total investment made in the purchase of land directly and indirectly aggregated to Rs. 1,82,54,275/-. As such the same was added by the AO as unexplained investment therefore no separate addition was required. 4.4 Regar .....

It is the same bank account for which all the credit entries have been added to the total income. Thus, it seems that there is duplication of addition of Rs. 33,50,000/-. Duplication of Addition: 2 (57,00,000) Hon'ble CIT(A) had confirmed the addition, in respect of investment made by Margi Darpan Shah of Rs. 57,00,000/- into Krish Immigration & Tours Pvt. Ltd. However, it is pertinent to submit that Margi Darpan Shah is assessed to tax and the assessment of Margi Darpan Shah for A.Y. 2010-11 has already been completed on 03.01.2013 by making additions of Rs. 10,65,200/- for unexplained credit entries. It implies that the addition made by the AO is unwarranted and this credit is already considered in the individual case of Margi Darpan Shah. Thus, in the instant case, addition of Rs. 57,00,000/- by Margi shah for making an investment in KIT should be deleted. Duplication of Addition: 3 - (15,00,000) Hon'ble CIT(A) has considered Central Bank of India - 3054663362 credits only and restricted the additions to Rs. 4,32,13,153/- as against the addition of Rs. 4,75,71,951/-made b .....
