of <h1>High Court affirms ITAT decision on deemed unexplained investment in share sale</h1> <h3>The Commissioner of Income Tax Versus Shri Mukesh Ratilal Marolia.</h3> The Commissioner of Income Tax Versus Shri Mukesh Ratilal Marolia. - TMI Issues:1. Whether the ITAT was justified in deleting the amount received by the Assessee on the sale of shares as unexplained investment under section 69 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.Analysis:The case involved an appeal questioning the deletion of an amount received by the Assessee on the sale of shares as unexplained investment under section 69 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Assessment Year in question was A.Y. 2001-2002. The Assessee, engaged in the business of manufacturing handkerchiefs, claimed to have sold shares of four companies and utilized the entire sale consideration to purchase a flat in Mumbai, seeking benefits under section 54E of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Assessing Officer deemed the sale of shares and the amount received as undisclosed income, making an addition under section 69. The CIT (A) dismissed the Assessee's appeal, but the ITAT allowed it, stating that the purchase of shares was recorded in the Assessee's books and the source of funds was agricultural income assessed to tax in previous years.The ITAT also noted that certificates from the companies confirmed the transfer of shares to the Assessee's name. Moreover, the sale of shares through two brokers was deemed genuine, as the Assessee received the amount without dispute, and there was no claim that the shares were still with the Assessee or that the received amount exceeded the declared value. Despite discrepancies in the statement of one broker's director, the ITAT found the sale transaction genuine based on an employee's statement. Consequently, the ITAT concluded that the purchase and sale of shares were legitimate, and the Assessing Officer erred in treating the amount as unexplained investment under Section 69 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.Ultimately, the High Court upheld the ITAT's decision, finding no merit in the appeal and dismissing it without costs.
