Contemporaneous documentary evidence showing preferential allotment/allotment letters, demat holdings, exchange contract notes, STT payment and banked sale proceeds defeats treatment of receipts as unexplained credit and related commission additions where the tax authority lacks fresh, year specific tangible material linking the transactions to third party entry operators.

Consequently, additions treating genuine share purchases and sales as bogus were reversed for the year under appeal.
