Ultimately, case of the assessee was assessed at Rs. 9, 74, 26,749/-. The assessee being aggrieved with this order preferred an appeal before the Ld. CIT (A), NFAC Delhi. The Ld. CIT (A) partly allowed the appeal of the assessee, in consequence of that both the parties i.e. the assessee and the revenue are in appeal before us. 4. We have gone through the order of the AO, order of the Ld. CIT (A) and submissions of the assessee alongwith grounds taken before us by both the parties. For the sake of logical conclusion of the matter, first we are disposing the appeal of the assessee ground wise. 5. Ground no. 1 raised by the assessee pertains to the addition u/s. 68 of the Act on account of increase in proprietor's capital account amounting to Rs. 1,50,12,664/-. It is observed that the assessee had shown capital as on 31.03.2019 at Rs. 3,01,98,397/-, in addition to this, the profit for the year under consideration was at Rs. 1,08,12,818/-. But the closing balance of the capital account as on 31.03.2020 was at Rs. 5,06,41,893/- (after considering the withdrawals of Rs. 53,80,385/-).

All the documents were perused and verified. No adverse inference has been drawn in this regard. (iii) However, a perusal of records related to loan from parties shown at Rs. 3,08,08,318/-, it has been found that during the year under consideration the assessee has raised unsecured loan to the tune of Rs. 1,00,30,192/-. In this regard, vide reply dated 29.01.2022, the assessee has submitted that he has received loan amounting to Rs. 1,00,30,192/- from various parties as mentioned below: 1. Abhishek Makad Rs. 40, 00,000/- 2. Kohinoor Enterprises Rs. 25, 00,000/- 3. MH Textile Rs. 10, 00,500/- 4. Mohd Shoaib Rs. 1, 80,000/- 5. Mukhtar Ahmed Rs. 20, 44,147/- 6.

Documents pertaining to the above mentioned unsecured loan were submitted before us and there was no challenge on the same by the other side. Based on above, we found that addition of Rs. 71, 50,192/- is not justified and the overall behaviour of the assessee and documents produced before us confirms the ingredients of section 68 of the Act, hence ground no. 2 raised by the assessee is allowed. 10. Ground no. 3 pertains to levy of interest u/s. 234A and 234B of the Act. This issue is consequential in nature and to be decided by the AO while giving effect to our adjudication on above 2 grounds, hence no separate adjudication is required. 11. In the result, appeal of the assessee is partly allowed. 1243/Mum/2024 (A.Y. 2020-21) 12. The appeal of the revenue has 4 grounds and all are interlinked, hence adjudicated together. For sake of clarity on the facts, we are reproducing herein below the observations and findings of the AO as under:- "The Assessing Officer made addition of Rs. 8, 69, 68,909/- on the ground that the Appellant has made bogus purchases from Smt.
