2.3. The AO proposed to estimate the income on gross receipts and to make the addition of unaccounted payments separately and given an opportunity to the assessee to explain as to why the income should not be estimated on the unaccounted receipts and why the expenditure should not

9 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

be added u/s 69C of the Act as the same was found to be unrecorded. Since there was no proper explanation from the assessee, the AO estimated the income @12% on unaccounted receipts, (i.e. receipts found as per the impounded material minus the receipts admitted by the assessee) and made the addition of unaccounted payments separately. Accordingly, the AO made the addition of income from real estate business on unaccounted receipts and the unexplained expenditure for the A.Y. 2007-08 to 2011-12 as under : Estimation of income Unexplained Unaccounted A.Y. on unaccounted expenditure receipts (in Rs.) receipts@12% (in Rs.) (in Rs.) 2007-08 1,14,81,790 10,37,014 4,00,60,558 2008-09 2,39,74,765 25,01,899 2,74,95,423 2009-10 3,89,98,505 42,42,005 3,23,74,198 2010-11 4,72,87,903 40,93,178 3,16,65,305 2011-12 4,29,53,287 32,79,781 1,01,08,563 2.4. The AO also made separate additions on account of un secured loans accepted during the impugned assessment years for non furnishing of confirmation letters, defective confirmation letters, insufficient credit worthiness etc., for the assessment years from 2007-08 to 2012-13 as under :

A.Y. Amount (Rs.) 2007-08 25.5 lakhs 2008-09 77 lakhs

10 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

A.Y. Amount (Rs.) 2009-10 82.3 lakhs 2010-11 21.5 lakhs 2011-12 112.45 lakhs 2012-13 17 lakhs 2.5 Aggrieved by the order of the assessing officer the assessee went on appeal before the Ld.CIT(A) and the Ld.CIT(A) allowed the appeal of the assessee partly. Against the order of the Ld.CIT(A), both the revenue and the assessee filed cross appeals.

3.0. The common issues in revenue appeals for all the assessment years are (i) Estimation of income on undisclosed gross receipts (ii) Addition on account of unexplained expenditure/payments and (iii) Unsecured loans. 4.0. Estimation of income on undisclosed gross receipts. This issue is involved for the A.Ys 2007-08 to 2011-12. The AO found undisclosed gross receipts during the course of survey which was worked out project wise and the assessment year wise in the preceding paragraph No.2. Though the assessee denied having under taken 7 projects referred to above, basing on the material found during the survey, the AO held that all the projects were belonged to the assessee and accounted the receipts partly in the books of accounts. Even in the case of projects owned by the assessee, it was found

11 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

that the assessee had accounted the receipts partly (i.e. Nagamalli Enclave, Sagar Square, Durgalamma Dwellings, KNR Plaza,). The AO quantified the unaccounted receipts from all the projects duly reducing the admitted receipts in the returns of income and estimated the income on the net unaccounted receipts @12% of the gross receipts and the same was brought to tax as unaccounted income in the real estate business.

4.1 On appeal, the Ld.CIT(A) observed that all 13 projects (one yet to take off) were not carried out by the assessee and they were carried out by various other / persons. The Ld.CIT(A) verified the statements recorded from the assessee on 14.02.2011, wherein, the assessee in question No.40 furnished the details of projects undertaken by himself and various other persons as under: "Q. 40.

The Ld.CIT(A) observed from statement and submissions of the assessee that the details of 13 projects were found during the course of survey and the projects undertaken by the assessee and others are as under: S.No. Name of the Project Owner 1.

14 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

4.3. The Ld.CIT(A) also observed that the AO, subsequent to the survey u/s 133A conducted the enquiries and recorded the statements from the developers / contractors who stated to have taken up the projects. The observations of the Ld.CIT(A) from the post survey enquiries are as under:

“The assessee could rebut the basic presumption cast on him as per section 292C. The assessee either during survey or post survey never accepted that the other 7 projects belonged to him. The post survey enquiries carried by the AO by summoning different individuals like Mr.B.Siva Prasad - Madhuranagar/MN-1 project andSmtK.RamyaLavanya Devi - Peddawaltair project, only supported the claim of the assessee. The post survey scrutiny proceedings in the cases of different individuals (whose receipts have been considered by the AO as belonging to the assessee) by different AOs, show that the department is treating those projects as belonging to those individuals but not to the assessee.”

4.4. The Ld.CIT(A) after verifying the statements recorded from the assessee and the post survey enquiries, given a finding that out of 13 projects found in the impounded material, six projects were developed by

15 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

the assessee and seven other projects were carried out by other persons and the assessee had discharged the burden placed on him u/s 292C of the Act. Accordingly confirmed the estimation of income to the extent of 8% of the unaccounted receipts of own projects and deleted the remaining addition. In respect of 7 other projects, the Ld.CIT(A) held that the other projects were carried out by the persons mentioned in table referred to in para No.4.2 and the returns of income were filed by the developers. The post search enquiries also revealed that the projects in fact were carried out by the other persons as per the details given in the statement, hence held that the unexplained expenditure or the estimation of income is not taxable in the hands of the assessee, since the burden placed on the assessee was effectively discharged.

16 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

6.1. From the above, it is observed that the six projects were carried out by the assessee and the remaining 7 projects were stated to have been

17 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

carried out by others. The AO conducted post survey enquiries and recorded statement from B.Siva Prasad on 18.02.2011 and K.Lavanya Devi on 14.02.2011. Both of them have agreed in the enquiries conducted by the AO that they have carried out construction activity in respect of Madhuranagar by B.Siva Prasad and Pedawaltair by K.Lavanya Devi. In the remaining projects, there was no indication of having recorded the statements. However, the Ld.CIT(A) basing on the information of returns of income filed by the respective developers held that the other projects were not carried out by the assessee and carried out by other persons. i.e. P.Chitti Varahala Raju in the case of Soldierpet project, P.Satish in the case of Prakasa Rao Peta Project, B.Siva Prasad and B.Uma Devi in the case of Madhuranagar project, K.Ramya Lavanya Devi in the case of Pedda Waltair Project, A.Manga Raju in the case of Chinna Waltair Project, Smt.Deepika Karpurapu in the case of Gokul Grandeur / Sita Residency project, P.Lakshmi in the case of Chinnam Vari Veedhi Project. The Ld.CIT(A) mainly relied on the income tax returns filed by the respective developers before survey or subsequent to survey, MoU reached by the developer with the landlord and the statement recorded from B.Siva Prasad and Lavanya and held that the assessee has discharged the presumption cast on him u/s 292C of the Act. Accordingly directed the AO to delete the additions

18 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

representing estimation of unaccounted income on unaccounted receipts and unexplained expenditure made in respect of the other projects stated to have been taken up by others.

6.2. We have gone through the assessment orders and orders of the lower authorities and observed that the Ld.CIT(A) heavily placed reliance on the post survey enquiries conducted by the department and the statement recorded from B.Siva Prasad. Though Sri Siva Prasad has accepted that he had carried out the Madhuranagar project known as Subadra Enclave, he has not maintained the books of accounts and books of accounts were not available with him. However, as per the material found during the course of survey, the AO has given a finding that the details of the expenditure incurred on various sites and the payments made to the various parties was available in the impounded material. The assessee in the statements recorded stated that the data was collected from site promoters and tabulated in the laptop. Thus the deposition made by the assessee is contradictory and inconsistent with the facts stated by B.Siva Prasad in his statement. In response to question No.16 and 17 Sri B.Siva Prasad could not explain the entries recorded in the impounded material and stated that he did not know the entries in the impounded material

19 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

found during the survey. For ready reference, we extract relevant part of the statement of Sri Siva Prasad which is available in the Ld.CIT(A) order in page No.28 question No.16 and 17, which reads as under : “Q.16.

Q.17. lam showing you Ashwani Deluxe Register marked as A/Ps/8, in page-4 serially numbered 353, impounded during the course of survey u/s. 133A conducted in the case of Shri Poosarla Subhash on 10-02-2011, please go through the entries made in and explain the contents in the book? Ans:I have completed the project Madhuranagar-1by me only, but I do not know about the entries made in page-5 serially numbered 353 above.” 6.3. Similarly, during the post survey enquiries, the AO recorded the statement from Smt.K.Ramya Lavanya Devi who claimed to have completed the work in respect of Pedda Waltair project. She has admitted that she has no experience in construction activity and she has not maintained books of accounts for the project. She also admitted that the entries made in the impounded material were not known to her. For ready reference, we extract relevant part of the order of the statement of K.Ramya Lavanya Devi which was reproduced in the CIT(A) order in page No.29 from Q.No.9 to 15 which reads as under :

20 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

21 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

6.4. From the replies of B.Siva Prasad and K.Ramya Lavanya Devi, they have categorically denied having knowledge of entries found during the course of survey in the impounded material. Whereas the assessee stated that the entries were made by his wife as per the information supplied by the promoters of the site. Submission made by the assessee during the course of survey and the replies given by the other promoters are apparently contradicting and inconsistent and does not match with each other. No other material was placed by the assessee to disprove that material found during the course of survey was untrue and not related to him. As per the provisions of section 292C, presumption is available to the department to believe that money, bullion, jewellery, documents, books of accounts found during the course of survey are belonging to the person surveyed or searched by the department and the contents are true. Mere filing of return of income by the others on estimation basis does not discharge the burden placed in section 292C of the Act. The explanation of the assessee that the accounts of the projects maintained in the laptop were prepared by his wife, Mrs Deepika for the purpose of bank loans and the data was collected appears neither convincing nor supported by any documents. It is the obligation of the assessee to substantiate his submissions with evidences with the entries made in the books of accounts

22 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

of the respective promoters, the bank accounts, registered sale deeds etc. When the entries made in the books of accounts found during the course of survey could not be explained by the other person it cannot be held that the burden placed u/s 292C is discharged by the assessee. For ready reference, we extract hereunder section 292C of the Act which reads as under :

Presumption as to assets, books of accounts etc. 292C. (1) Where any books of account, other documents, money, bullion, jewellery or other valuable article or thing are or is found in the possession or control of any person in the course of a search under section 132 or survey under section 133A, it may, in any proceeding under this Act, be presumed— (i) that such books of account, other documents, money, bullion, jewellery or other valuable article or thing belong or belongs to such person; (ii) that the contents of such books of account and other documents are true; and (iii) that the signature and every other part of such books of account and other documents which purport to be in the handwriting of any particular person or which may reasonably be assumed to have been signed by, or to be in the handwriting of, any particular person, are in that person's handwriting, and in the case of a document stamped, executed or attested, that it was duly stamped and executed or attested by the person by whom it purports to have been so executed or attested.

6.5. The assessee has denied having carried out the works in other 7 projects. Having found the books of accounts, documents, material, loose sheets, diaries etc. with the complete details of payments made to various parties, investments made in properties and the expenditure incurred in the premises of the assessee, it is burden on the assessee to prove that the entries in the books of accounts, documents, loose sheets, etc. found during the course of survey are in fact does not belong to him but belonged to the other parties with relevant evidences. In this case, the assessee has neither

23 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

discharged the burden nor disproved the fact that the entries made in the books of accounts of 13 projects was not carried out by the assessee. Therefore, in the interest of justice, we are of the view that the issue needs to be remitted back to the file of the AO for making fresh enquiries and to afford an opportunity to the assessee to prove that the entire 13 projects were not carried by him and only six projects were carried out by the assessee. Accordingly, we remit the issue of quantification of gross unaccounted receipts to the file of the AO for redoing the same afresh on merits. The appeal of the revenue on estimation of income on 13 projects is allowed for statistical purpose.

6.6. The other issue is addition made u/s 69C on account of the unaccounted payments. The Ld.CIT(A) deleted the addition relating to unaccounted payments in respect of 7 projects carried out by others since the assessee disowned the projects. In case of 6 projects carried out by the assessee (own projects), the Ld.CIT(A) has made cash flow /funds flow statement and found no deficit cash to meet the expenses accordingly deleted the addition. In the preceding paragraphs we have held that the issue regarding the 13 projects required to be reexamined, since the assessee has not discharged the burden placed on him u/s 292C of the Act.

24 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

With regard to the 6 projects owned by the assessee, the Ld.CIT(A) compiled the cash flow statement and held that the sources were available to make the payments. In the instant case it is observed that the assessee is not maintaining the books of accounts, hence, issue requires further examination by the AO. Therefore, the issue regarding unaccounted payments also remitted back to the file of the AO to examine the real developer of 13 projects and to consider the entire issue and decide the issue afresh on merits. Accordingly, the Revenue’s appeal on unaccounted payments made u/s 69C is allowed for statistical purpose.

6.7. The next issue is estimation of income on the projects admitted by the assessee and the other projects. The AO observed that there was difference in the receipts admitted by the assessee in the return of income and the receipts found as per the seized material, the AO estimated the income @12% on unaccounted receipts and made separate addition for unrecorded expenditure. The material available with the AO consists of undisclosed receipts as well as the unrecorded payments. It is not correct to disregard the material available in respect of payments and receipts and make separate addition on account of undisclosed receipts and unrecorded expenditure. Even the receipts and the payments are unaccounted the AO has to compute the income with matching receipt and the payment.

25 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

Therefore the AO is directed to examine the receipts and expenditure and

compute the income relating to unaccounted receipts.

6.8. Accordingly, the entire issue of estimation of income on undisclosed

receipts and unaccounted payments u/s 69C, is set aside and the issue is

remitted back to the file of the AO for denovo consideration. The assessee

is free to take up all the contentions raised in the appeal before the AO. The

AO is directed to afford reasonable opportunity to the assessee before

completing the assessment.

7.1. During the appeal proceedings, the assessee filed additional evidence

which was admitted by the Ld.CIT(A) and called for the remand report

from the AO. During the remand proceedings, the AO verified the

information, recorded statements from the loan creditors and submitted

the remand report. On receipt of the remand report, the Ld.CIT(A) has

called for the objections from the assessee and after having considered the

objections, the remand report and the statements recorded u/s 131 of the

Act, the Ld.CIT(A) deleted all the additions made by the AO except in the

case of Shri K.Harikrishna.

27 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

7.2. Aggrieved by the orders of the Ld.CIT(A), the department has filed appeal challenging the deletion of additions made by the Ld.CIT(A). The revenue has filed the appeal challenging the order of the Ld.CIT(A) for the A.Y 2007-08 to 2009-10 and 2011-12 to 2012-13. From the grounds of appeal filed by the Revenue we observe some lapses which are brought on record as under. For the A.Y. 2009-10, the department raised the following ground for the deleting addition of cash credits as under : 8. The Ld.CIT(A) ought to have appreciated that the creditors to the extent of Rs.62.80 lakhs (out of total addition of Rs.82.30 lakhs) failed to explain the source of the amount advanced to the assessee satisfactorily and therefore the same were rightly treated as unexplained creditors u/s 68 of the I.T.Act by the Assessing Officer. 7.3 For the A.Y 2010-11, the department did not make appeal against the deletion of addition on account of unexplained cash credits, even though in couple of cases, the same cash credits were continued against which the department preferred appeal for the earlier assessment years.

7.4 For the A.Y. 2011-12, the department raised the following grounds against the deletion of cash credits. 9. The Ld.CIT(A) erred in deleting the addition made by the Assessing Officer on account of unexplained unsecured loan creditors barring one loan creditor of Rs.1,00,000/- in the name of Sri K.Hari Krishna with an observation that the creditors confirmed the loans and explained the sources of the amount advanced to the assessee and all the three ingredients of genuine credits are satisfied.

29 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

creditors in whose case, the deletion of addition are not acceptable by the

department. The same is the case with the A.Y. 2012-13. We expect

minimum care by the AO as well as the supervising authorities while filing

the appeal. With the above observations we adjudicate the issue of the

addition relating to unsecured loan creditors as under.

7.5 During the appeal proceedings, the assessee filed additional evidence

before the Ld.CIT(A) which was admitted by the CIT(A) and called for the

remand report. In the remand report the following unsecured creditors

have accepted and confirmed the loan transactions and the source of which

was accepted by the AO.

Loan amount in Assessment Years in Rs. Sl. Name of the Loan No. Creditors 2007-08 2008-2009 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 1 Sri B.G.V. NarasingaRao 100000 0 0 0 0 0 2 K.

7.6. The Ld.CIT(A) deleted the addition on the basis of the remand report

submitted by the AO. Since there is no dispute with regard to source and

the AO has accepted the transaction as genuine there is no case for filing

30 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

appeal. During the appeal hearing the Ld.DR could not place any material to

controvert the finding given by the Ld.CIT(A). Hence the department’s

appeal in the case of above creditors for the impugned assessment years

are dismissed.

7.7 In the following cases, at the remand stage the AO has conducted the

enquiries and the creditors have accepted the transaction and explained

the source.

of them are assessed to income tax which was not disputed by the AO. The

loans were given by cheque and interest also was paid by cheque. The

Ld.CIT(A) has deleted the addition since the creditors have confirmed the

31 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

transactions assessed to income tax, the payment was made by cheque and

interest was also received by cheque. Therefore, we are of the view that the

assessee discharged his burden and shifted to the department. The AO

could not shift the onus on the assessee. During the appeal hearing the

department could not place any material to controvert the finding given by

the Ld.CIT(A). Therefore, we do not see any reason to interfere with the

order of the Ld.CIT(A), accordingly we uphold the order of the Ld.CIT(A)

and dismiss the appeals of the revenue in the case of the said unsecured

creditors for the impugned assessment years.

7.9 In the following creditors, there was ambiguity with regard to the

name, the source and mismatch in the names and sources of funds

33 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

order of the AO, there is no proper explanation for the source. The assessee did not establish the source with matching dates of investment. Hence, this case needs to be examined in detail. 8.3. R.Lakshmana Murthy. In this case, the creditor has retired in 2001- 02 and received the retirement benefits in the same financial year and claimed the same as source for the loans advanced to the assessee without proper cash flow. The AO required to examine the receipt of retirement benefits and its application with funds flow. The creditor required to match the source with the date of withdrawal and explain the same. The Ld.CIT(A) also opined that the source of deposit of cash needs to be properly examined in detail. 8.4. N.Satyanarayana. In the assessment order, the name was mentioned as N.Satyanarayana. The confirmation letter was given by Sri M.B.Venkata Rao. Therefore, the issue needs verification with regard to identity of the creditor, genuineness of the loan, sources of N.Satyanarayana or M.B.Venkata Rao both with the assessee as well as the creditor. 8.5. M.V.L.Prasad. There is mismatch in the name in the assessment order,the name was mentioned as M.B.L.Prasad, whereas in the appeal order the name was mentioned as M.V.L.Prasad. Therefore, the correct name of the creditor required to be established and credit worthiness of

34 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

the creditor, source and genuineness required to be examined with reference to correct name. 8.6. Smt. K.Bhavani. Smt. K.Bhavani has advanced a sum of Rs.1,30,000/- in the A.Y. 2009-10 and Rs.1,25,000 in the A.Y. 2011-12. In both the cases, the creditor has explained the source as receipt of rent. In the first instance, the AO rejected the credit for mismatch of signature in the remand report. In the second instance for the A.Y. 2011-12, the AO rejected the claim for want of proof of source. The creditor is not assessed to tax and there is no evidence for receipt of rental income and the rental income is very meagre which is not even sufficient to meet the household expenditure. Therefore, the case needs to be re examined to establish the identity and proper source. 8.7. M.Kishore Kumar. In this case, there was immediate cash deposit of Rs. 2 lakhs on preceding day and on 12.03.2012, Rs.2 lakhs was given as loan to the assessee. The creditor is not an income tax assessee and not filing returns. During the previous year relevant to the impugned assessment year, his salary income was only Rs.11,000/- and thus there is no evidence of cash accumulation. Therefore, the AO required to examine the source in this case with accumulation of savings for advancing the amounts to the assessee.

35 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

8.8. In all the above cases, identity, genuineness and credit worthiness of the creditors required to be verified with correct proofs. Therefore, in our considered opinion the issue needs to be remitted back to the file of the AO for further consideration. Therefore, we remit the matter back to the file of the AO to examine the sources, identity, credit worthiness and genuineness and decide the issue afresh on merits. Both the revenue as well as the assessee’s AR agreed for remitting the matter back to the file of the AO in above cases of creditors. Accordingly, the appeals of the revenue in the case of above creditors for all the assessment years are allowed for statistical purposes.

36 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

31.10.2008 in the name of Dr.P.Visweswara Rao, father of the assessee. When this fact was confronted with the assessee, the assessee has taken different stand and tried to explain that he has taken unsecured loans from various other parties as shown in the books of accounts and the balance sheet. Since the assessee has given inconsistent replies and did not furnish the correct source for investment in the house property, the AO made the addition of Rs.31,38,000/-.

9.1. On appeal before the CIT(A), the CIT(A) observed that the amounts were paid from the books of accounts and surplus business receipts which is inclusive of the loan granted by ING Vysya Bank in favour of Dr.P.Visweswara Rao, father of the assessee. Therefore, the Ld.CIT(A) held that no addition is called for on this ground.

37 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

evidence that the loan granted to Dr.P.Viswesrara Rao was utilized for purchase of house. The Ld.AR also could not place the sanction advise of bank loan to examine the purpose for which the loan was granted and its end utilization. Therefore, we are unable to accept the contention of the assessee that the said loan was utilized for acquiring the house property. Hence, we hold that the sources remained unexplained, accordingly, we set aside the order of the Ld.CIT(A) and confirm the addition made by the AO. Assessee’s appeals: 11. The common issue involved in assesee’s appeals for the A.Ys.2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 is the unsecured loan accepted from Shri K.Harikishna. The assessee accepted the unsecured loans from Shri K.Harikrishna as follows:

Sl. No. Name of the Loan Creditors 2007-08 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 4 Sri K Harikrishna 800000 300000 100000 200000

11.1. For the A.Y. 2007-08, the AO considered the loan of Rs.8 lakhs instead of Rs.4 lakhs and accordingly made the addition of Rs.8.00 lakhs. Assessee explained that there was a mistake in quantum of loan advanced by the creditor in the A.Y. 2007-08 and the correct amount was Rs.4.00 lakhs but not Rs.8.00 Lakhs. Hence, the assessee filed additional evidence which was admitted by the Ld.CIT(A) and called for the remand report. The AO in

38 I.T.A. Nos.472-475/Viz/2017 and 481-486/Viz/2017 Sri Pusarla Subash, Visakhapatnam

remand report dated 21.04.2014 accepted that the loan given by Sri K.Harikrishna for the A.Y.2007-08 was Rs.4 lakhs but not Rs.8 lakhs. The Ld.CIT(A) confirmed the addition of Rs.4 lakhs and held that there is no source to the creditor. The remaining amount of Rs.4 lakhs was deleted by the Ld.CIT(A).

11.2. The department filed appeal for deletion of addition of Rs.4 lakhs and the assessee filed cross appeal challenging the order of the Ld.CIT(A).

11.3. As discussed above, the actual amount advanced by Sri K.Harikrishna was Rs. 4 lakhs, but not Rs.8 lakhs which the AO has accepted in the remand report. Therefore, there is no justification for making addition of Rs.8.00 lakhs and the CIT(A) has rightly restricted the same to Rs.4 lakhs. Hence, we dismiss the appeal of the Revenue on this issue.

11.4. The assessee filed appeal before this Tribunal in its appeal No. 472/Viz/2017 against the order of the Ld.CIT(A). During the appeal hearing, the Ld.AR did not bring any fresh evidence to support the source of Rs.4 lakhs. Though assessee stated that he was having salary income, interest income and assessed to tax, the assessee could not furnish any evidence to support the sources for advances given to the assessee. As per the confirmation letter from Sri K.Harikrishna has given loan of Rs. 4 lakhs

in the A.Y. 2007-08, Rs. 3 lakhs in the A.Y.2010-11, Rs.1 lakh in the A.Y. 2011-12 and Rs.2 lakhs in the A.Y. 2012-13. For a query from the Bench, the Ld.AR could not furnish any evidence with regard to his source of income and accumulation of savings to substantiate the advances given by the creditor to the assessee. In the absence of satisfactory explanation of the source, we are unable to accept the contention of the assessee that the loans are genuine. The assessee failed to provide satisfactory evidence to support the credit worthiness and genuineness of the loans, therefore, the addition made by the AO for the A.Y. 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13 in respect of unsecured loans accepted from Sri K.Harikrishna amounting to Rs.4 lakhs, Rs.3 lakhs, Rs.1 lakh, Rs.2 lakhs respectively are confirmed and the orders of the Ld.CIT(A) are sustained. The appeals of both the assessee and the revenue are dismissed.

loan was not sanctioned to the assessee and sanctioned to Dr.P.Visweswara Rao, father of the assessee. The house property was owned jointly by the assessee with his wife K.Deepika and the property was sold by them during the year 2012. Since, there was no evidence to establish that the loan was utilized by the assessee for the purpose of construction of house or for acquiring the house, the AO disallowed the interest claim made by the assessee, thus rejected the claim of set off of loss under the head income from property. On appeal, the Ld.CIT(A) confirmed the addition in the A.Ys 2010-11 to 2012-13, Hence the appeal.
