Ground Nos.1 7 of appeal are general in nature. 6. Ld counsel for the assessee did not press Ground No.6 of appeal, hence, same is dismissed as not pressed. 7.

ARSS Developers Ltd., which has been accepted to be added in the hands of the assessee u/s.2(22)(e) of the Act by way of not pressing ground No.6. Ld A.R. submitted that in this situation due to this mistake in the statement of affairs of the assessee and his wife, the unsecured loan of ₹ 26,75,000/- was shown in the balance sheet of the assessee received from his wife and repayment of loan of ₹ 23,25,000/- was shown in the balance sheet of Smt. Sanju Agarwal from the assessee and if the amount of ₹ 50 lakhs has to be added in the hands of the assessee, which was directly received by him from ARSS Developers Ltd., then by way of adjusting this ₹ 50 lakhs, the factum of repayment of loan of ₹ 23,25,000/- by the assessee to his wife was to be accepted. Ld counsel submitted that if the amount of ₹ 50 lakhs is added in the hands of the assessee without treating the same as loan from his wife, then the final situation would be that in the beginning of the year an amount of ₹ 23,25,000/- was due against the w .....

This fact has not been disputed by ld D.R. that before transaction of ₹ 50 lakhs, amount of ₹ 23,25,000/- was due to the wife of the assessee Sanju Agarwal as debtor and when the assessee treated the amount of ₹ 50 lakhs as received from Sanju Agarwal as loan, the situation change and that is why the assessee has shown balance amount of ₹ 26,75,000/- as unsecured loan from his wife i.e. deducting ₹ 23,25,000/- from the notional amount of unsecured loan of ₹ 50 lakhs. When the controversy regarding amount of ₹ 50 lakhs has been solved by treating the same as dividend income in the hands of the assessee u/s.2(22)(e) of the Act then other relevant book entry cannot be held as sustainable and after reversing the same, no addition u/s.68 of the Act can be held as sustainable. 13.

On the facts and circumstances of the case, the CIT(A) has erred in confirming the addition made by the AO amounting to ₹ 50 lakhs received from ARSS Developers Ltd., as unexplained cash credit u/s.68 of the Income tax Act, 1961. 20. Ld A.R. submitted that during the assessment proceedings, the assessee vide letter dated 23.6.2015 submitted that the amount of ₹ 50 lakhs has been paid to the husband of the assessee Shri Subash Agarwal directly from ARSS Developers Ltd., on the request of the assessee, however, while preparing the statement of affairs, the said transaction was not incorporated which is an inadvertent mistake. Ld A.R. further submitted that since the husband of the assessee Shri Subash Agarwal has conceded that amount of ₹ 50 lakhs may be treated as deemed dividend u/s.2(22)(e) of the Act, therefore, no addition is called for in the hands of w .....
