Before: SHRI SANDEEP GOSAIN, JM & SHRI VIKRAM SINGH YADAV, AM vk;dj vihy la-@ITA No. 1214/JP/2019
per of the assessment order, the assessee had not filed any reply,
therefore, addition of Rs. 11,00,000/- U/s 68 of the Act was made by the
A.O. on account of cash paid for purchase of property and he also invoked
Section 115BBE of the Act.
We observed from the facts of the case that in the first appeal, the
assesse had filed detailed WS reproduced at page 16 to 20 of the CIT’s
order and WS at Page 8 to 12 filed before CIT (A), the Ld. AR had also filed
additional evidences, which were sent by the Ld. CIT(A) to the AO for his
comments. Thereafter the AO had called the assessee for additional
evidences examination proceedings where the assessee had also filed
further details as required by the AO. Thereafter the AO send his remand
report to the Ld. CIT (A) dated 05/07/2019 which are available at PB 184-
185, In response to the said remand report, the assessee filed his
comments which are available at PB 186-193. On this report, ld. CIT(A)
recorded his observation that the assessee submitted copy of agreement
dated 28/08/2018 where property was agreed to be purchased for Rs.
15,00,000/- by Shri Naveen Sharma husband of the assessee wherein Rs.
4,00,000/- were paid by Cheque and Rs. 5,00,00/- by cash on 15/10/2012
13 ITA 1214/JP/2019_ Smt. Anjana Sharma Vs ITO thus in this way till this agreement Rs. 9,00,000/- were paid and Rs.
6,00,000/- were pending. Subsequently, this Property was finally purchased
through registered deed by the assessee on 07/11/2012. In the registered
documents, earlier payment of Rs. 9,00,000/- were recorded and further
payment of Rs. 6,00,000/- paid in cash on 07/11/2012 was also recorded.
As per above two documents Rs. 11,00,000/- were paid in cash, Rs.
5,00,000/- on 15/10/2012 and Rs. 6,00,000/- on 07/11/2012. For explaining
the source of cash payment of Rs. 11,00,000/-, the assessee filed cash flow
statement of self and her husband Shri Naveen Sharma where the assessee
has shown Rs. 2,50,000/- paid by Smt. Anjana Sharma on 07/11/2012 while
Rs. 5,00,000/- and Rs. 3,50,000/- were paid by Shri Naveen Sharma on
15/10/2012 and 07/11/2012 respectively. In the revised cash flow
statement filed during the appellate proceedings we noticed that opening
cash balance of Rs. 5,91,156 has been disclosed and a large number of
loans below Rs. 20,000/- has been shown in the above cash flow statement.
In the cash flow of Shri Naveen Sharma (the husband of the assessee)
again the opening cash of Rs. 5,35,192/- has been disclosed besides
number of cash loans below 20,000/-.
After looking and considering all the above facts and details, we have
observed and found that from starting the assessee has explained the
source of cash Rs. 11,00,000/- from her husband Shri Naveen Sharma of
14 ITA 1214/JP/2019_ Smt. Anjana Sharma Vs ITO Rs. 8,50,000/- and Rs. 2,50,000/- from her own. As we have noted that the
assessee and her husband are regular income tax assessee and filing their
return of income since AY 2005-06. As per record available before us and as
per returns of the assessee, the assessee has shown income of Rs. 12.30
lacs and if it is presumed that a female can easily save 50% of her income
and 50% can be treated for drawings. According to that she can have
source to the extent of Rs. 6.15 lacs thus the source of amount shown by
the assessee of purchase of property can be treated explained. Further the
husband of the assessee Shri Naveen Sharma who has given cash of Rs.
8.50 Lacs to the assessee (wife) for purchasing of the property in question.
As Naveen Sharma since starting accepting and confirming that he had
given cash of Rs. 8.50 lacs to her wife for purchasing of the property even
before the issuance of notice U/s 148 of the Act. During the enquiry U/s
133(6) vide letter dated 14/08/2014, PB-35 to the ITO, Intelligence-II,
Jaipur also filed the balance sheet of Naveen Sharma which is at page No.
37 of the paper book. Further the assessee has also filed copy of affidavits
and their identifications (PB 112-144) of the persons from whom they have
taken cash loans. Thus the assessee has fully explained the source of Rs.
11,00,000/- with the evidences filed before them and discharged the onus
lay upon her. Thus, in our view, no additions can be made until and unless
the evidences filed by the assessee were rebutted and discarded and by
15 ITA 1214/JP/2019_ Smt. Anjana Sharma Vs ITO bringing any contrary evidences and materials and no addition can be made
on the basis of assumption/ presumptions and guess work. Further when
the husband of the assessee from the starting has confirmed of giving cash
of Rs. 8.50 lacs as he is a regular income tax assessee and all the data
given by him were very well available before the AO. Therefore, on the
basis of the documents, no addition could be made. If the A.O. was having
any doubt regarding the source of cash of Rs. 8.50 lacs by the Shri Naveen
Sharma (Husband of the assessee) he could have made the addition in his
hands but not in the hands of the assessee. Thus, in view of the above
discussion as well as material placed on record, we found merit in the
contention of the ld. AR and hence we directed to delete the addition of Rs.
9,00,000/- sustained by the Ld. CIT (A). We order accordingly.
In the result, this appeal of the assessee is partly allowed.
Order pronounced in the open court on 25th November, 2021.
