Details of the Judgment:
Issue 1: Addition made under section 68 read with Section 115BBE of the Act
The appeal was filed against the order of the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for Assessment Year 2014-15, challenging the addition of Rs.9,30,00,000 made under section 68 of the Act. The assessee argued that the addition was arbitrary and unjust as there was no contrary evidence regarding the source of the loan received from India Infoline Finance Ltd. The assessee contended that the loan was sourced through Mr. Vijaya Gulati, one of the directors of the company, and provided various documents to support this claim. However, the Assessing Officer (AO) and the CIT(A) upheld the addition as unexplained cash credit.
Decision: The Tribunal noted that there was no clear factual finding regarding the loan sourced from IIFL and the repayment schedule placed before the AO. Due to the continuous absence of the assessee, the Tribunal decided to remand the issue back to the AO for fresh adjudication. The Tribunal directed the AO to allow the assessee to furnish any fresh evidence in support of its contentions and provide a reasonable opportunity to be heard. Consequently, the grounds raised by the assessee were allowed for statistical purposes.
Conclusion: The appeal of the assessee was allowed for statistical purposes, and the issue of the addition made under section 68 read with Section 115BBE of the Act was remanded back to the AO for denovo adjudication in accordance with the law.
Judgment Highlight: Separate judgment delivered by the Tribunal remanding the issue back to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication.
