Ltd Considering the fact that the company is not very well known and such a huge rise in the price in such a short span of time is very unlikely and more so keeping in view unearthing of rackets providing entries in the form of long term capital gain, the issue was investigated by the AO in detail. Further a letter was sent to the broker M/s Goldstar FinvestP.Ltd toverifythegenuineness of the transaction on 17.09.2007 which was returned with the postal remarks 'left'.

....d sales as shown to have been made for above shares, i.e., Talent Infoways Ltd, are duly reflected. Ans: Since I am issuing the accommodation bills to various parties it is difficult for me to identity the funds received by me specifically vis-a-vis parties and it is also not possible to link corresponding entries vis-a-vis purchase and sales of shares. Hence it is not possible for me to give any bank statement and books of accounts of relevant transactions. Therefore the assessee vide this office letter No 1811 dated 29.11.2007 was issued a detailed show cause requiring the assessee to file reply/explanation on 07.12.2007. In that response a detailed reply was submitted by assessee on 7.12.2007. From the detailed discussion above, it is clear that the assessee has failed to prove the genuineness of the transaction on the other hand from the Investigation carried out by Investigation wing, Mumbai and u/s 131(d) by this office, it is revealed that assessee is one of the beneficiaries of Shri Mukesh M Choksi and the concerns floated by him.

....irmed. Thus Ground No. 1 of the revenue is dismissed. 3.1 The second issue of the revenue is that the ld. CIT(A) has erred in deleting the addition of Rs. 2,250/- as undisclosed commission payment. 3.2 The ld.CIT(A) in para 8 and 9 of his order has referred to this issue and these paragraphs are reproduced as under:- ''8. The AR has contended that the AO has entirely based the assessment order on assumptions, surmises and imagination applying illogical arguments whereas he has not tried to look into the facts submitted by the appellant to prove into the reality of the facts. The AR also stated that the AO has failed to bring any material evidence on record in support of the estimation. Further, it has been stated that the sale proceed received by the appellant is net of bills received from the broker. From the bills, it is evident that the commission of broker has already been deducted by the broker and net amount is paid to the appellant. Decision: 9. I have considered the facts of the case and submission of the Id. AR and found that the AO has made the addition of Rs. 2,250 /- on the ground that commission payment for purchase and sale of shares has not been shown in th....
