Addition u/s 68 - purchase of alleged penny stock - Appellant...

Addition u/s 68 - purchase of alleged penny stock - Appellant has held the shares for over 13 years and it would be incorrect to treat sale of shares as bogus merely on the basis of suspicion and on account of fact that a substantial quantum of capital gains has been made by the assessee. In the present case, no material has been brought on record to suggest that purchase and sale of shares were bogus. Assessing Officer has not brought any material to support his finding that there has been collusion or connivance between the broker and the assessee for the introduction of his own unaccounted money. - AT
