ACCRECENT WAY MARKETING (P) LTD.,GUWAHATI vs. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, CIRCLE-3, GUWAHATI
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal upheld the addition of share application money. It found that the transactions were well-planned and stage-managed, indicating a 'round tripping' of funds. The investors' companies showed no significant business operations but invested at high premiums, suggesting a facade of genuineness.
What were the facts?
The assessee company received share application money of Rs. 8,50,45,030/- during the financial year. The Assessing Officer added this amount to the income under the head 'Income from other sources' as unexplained share application money. The assessee argued that the preconditions for such an addition were not met.
What were the issues?
Whether the share application money received by the assessee was unexplained and thus liable to be added to its income under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
