JURISDICTION OF THE POINTS RAISED IN SHOW CAUSE: As regards the transfer of Shares to Amit I Bakshi:- The Shares transferred were 3025 and not 3050 wrongly stated in your notice.

A copy of the bank statement of your assessee showing the credit amount of₹ 30,250/- received on 24.06.2011 has also been attached herewith despite of the fact that the above stated record are filed in your file.

Anchalia Company, C.As., appointed by the company - Eris Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd. for valuation of the shares of the company for sale to Boticelli, the fair value of the equity shares of the company has specifically been calculated at ₹ 79,020/- as on 16/08/2011 under the DCF method. Therefore, against such valuation by the company's own valuer at ₹ 79,020/- per share and the actual sale to third party at ₹ 87,217.75 per share, the assessee's alleged sale to another director of 3025 shares at ₹ 10 per share on the same day is completely unacceptable. (ii.) The assessee has contended that the sale of share at face value was by mutual understanding and by consent of all the directors, because Mr. Amit Bakshi was instrumental in getting the investor. This statement is not correct, because, the assessee has himself paid a huge amount of ₹ 48,63,574/- to M/s. Advendus Capital Pvt.

The AO is also directed to verify the claim of the assessee made during the proceedings u/s 263 regarding deposits in the Capital Gains Account and construction of a new house property after demolishing the old house property for the purpose of section 54F. 8. In view of the above discussion, it is clear that the assessment order passed by the A.O. is not only erroneous but also prejudicial to the interest of revenue as per the provisions of section 263 of the I. T. Act, 1961 read with clause (a) of Explanation 2 thereof.

Therefore it is urged that the transaction are colourable transaction and different considerations would apply. (c)At the hearing of the admission, the Revenue did not point out any facts which would evidence that the transaction was not genuine. In such a case where the genuineness is not disputed with any evidence, it is not open to discard the documents and/or transaction on the basis of some supposed object/intent. In the present facts the Revenue accepts the documents but only substitutes the consideration. Therefore, the issue is whether such substitution of full consideration received by fair market value of the asset is permissible as held by the Tribunal at the relevant time there was no power vested in the authorities under the Act to substitute a full value of consideration received by fair market value in respect of stock and shares. The statute only on introduction of Section 50D with effect from 1st April, 2013. The power to substitute full consideration with fair market value in respect of shares ca .....
