Tribunal directs reevaluation of creditworthiness in share application money transactions
The Tribunal partly allowed the assessee's appeal for the A.Y 2011-12, directing a reevaluation of the creditworthiness of the parties involved in the share application money transactions. The Tribunal confirmed the addition of the amount from the third party as unexplained credit but remanded the issue of the other two parties back to the AO for reconsideration, granting the assessee an opportunity to prove their creditworthiness.
Issues: Assessee's appeal for the A.Y 2011-12 against the order of the CIT (A)-3, Hyderabad, dated 27.11.2015 regarding the genuineness of share application money received.
Analysis: The assessee, engaged in manufacturing, filed its return for A.Y 2011-12 showing receipt of share application money. The AO noticed discrepancies in the details provided by the assessee and requested proof of the genuineness of the transactions. The assessee submitted confirmation letters from two out of three parties but failed to address the share application money from the third party. The AO, after further investigation and lack of response from the parties, treated the entire sum as unexplained credit under section 68 of the Act.
The assessee contended that the transactions were through banking channels, proving the genuineness, and provided PAN details of the companies to establish their identity. The creditworthiness of the parties was questioned by the authorities due to lack of response from one party and unserved notices to others. The DR supported the authorities' decision, emphasizing the assessee's responsibility to prove both genuineness and creditworthiness.
The Tribunal found that the share application money was received through banking channels, establishing the parties' identity. However, the lack of response from one party and unserved notices to others raised doubts about creditworthiness. While confirming the addition of the amount from the third party, the Tribunal remanded the issue of the other two parties back to the AO for reconsideration, granting the assessee an opportunity to prove their creditworthiness.
In conclusion, the assessee's appeal was partly allowed for statistical purposes, with the Tribunal directing a reevaluation of the creditworthiness of the parties involved in the share application money transactions.
