was assessed u/s 143(3) vide order dated 31.12.2022 at an assessed loss at Rs.1,710/-. The ld. PCIT by exercising his revision juri iction u/s 263 has found following discrepancies:
(i) issue related to unsecured loan,
(ii) issue related to construction expenses and (iii) issue related to sundry creditors,
2.1
The ld. PCIT u/s 263 of the Act has found that it is a case of erroneous assessment and it was prejudicial to the interest of the revenue and accordingly, a show-cause notice u/s 263 of the Act was issued and submission was filed by the assessee but the ld. PCIT after going over the submission set aside the assessment order passed u/s 143(3) of the Act and directed the Assessing Officer to make necessary verification/enquiry and pass a de novo assessment order.
3. Aggrieved by the said order, the assessee preferred appeal before us. The ld. AR in the course of argument did not press the issue related to sundry creditors and he raised issues related to unsecured loan and construction expenses. Regarding the issue of unsecured loan, the submission of the ld. AR is that in the course of assessment proceedings, the assessee furnished documentary evidences such as source of fund, loan confirmation, copy of bank statement, audited financial statement and ITR acknowledgement and not only that, the Assessing Officer had also issued notices u/s 133(6) of the Act and the same were duly complied. Accordingly, the ld. AR stated that the order passed by the ld.

Upon hearing the submissions of ld. counsels of the respective parties, we are going to decide only two issues i.e. unsecured loan taken as the assessee and construction expenses and the assessee did not press the issue regarding sundry creditors and on the issue of sundry creditors, the order passed by the ld. CIT(A) is confirmed. Now, looking into the facts of the case on the issue of unsecured loan, we find after going over the facts of the case that the assessee has taken loan of Rs.189.00 lakhs from the following parties:
