The Tribunal noted that the lender's assessment for the relevant year had been completed and that the lender was not considered a bogus entity in subsequent proceedings.
The Tribunal upheld the order of the CIT(A) in deleting the addition. It followed a previous decision in a similar case involving the same scrips and assessment year, finding the transactions to be genuine and not accommodation entries.

The Tribunal held that the PCIT could not invoke Section 263 merely on the ground of inadequate enquiry without himself conducting necessary enquiry and concluding the order was erroneous.

The Tribunal held that the CIT(E)'s jurisdiction for granting registration under Section 12AA is limited to verifying the objects and genuineness of the activities, not the taxability of past income.
