of <h1>Tribunal Rules in Favor of Assessee: Unjustified Addition u/s 68 Deleted, Loan Interest Deductible.</h1> <h3>M/s. Talisman Securities Pvt. Ltd., Versus DCIT, Central Circle 7 (2)</h3> M/s. Talisman Securities Pvt. Ltd., Versus DCIT, Central Circle 7 (2) - TMI Issues involved: The validity of re-assessment and confirmation of addition u/s.68 of the Income Tax Act.Validity of re-assessment: The appeal challenged the validity of re-assessment, which was not pressed by the assessee's representative, leading to its dismissal.Confirmation of addition u/s.68: The assessee contested the confirmation of addition towards unexplained cash credit u/s.68 of the Act, related to a loan received and the disallowance of interest paid on the loan.The assessee borrowed Rs.50,00,000 from a company, paid interest, and claimed it as a deduction. The lending company's identity and creditworthiness were questioned due to being a penny stock company. However, the assessee provided evidence including income tax returns, bank statements, and balance sheets to prove the genuineness of the transaction. The lending company's financial stability and the transaction details were confirmed through various documents and responses to queries and notices.The Tribunal found that all necessary documents were provided by the assessee to prove the genuineness of the loan transaction. The transaction was made through proper banking channels, with no cash deposits before advancing the loan. The lender's identity, income tax assessment, and confirmation of the transaction were established. The loan was repaid in the subsequent assessment year, with interest subject to tax deduction at source. Consequently, the addition u/s.68 of the Act was deemed unjustified and directed to be deleted. The interest paid on the loan was allowed as a deduction u/s.36(1)(iii) of the Act.In conclusion, the appeal of the assessee was partly allowed based on the findings related to the validity of re-assessment and the addition u/s.68 of the Income Tax Act.
