.... Their statements were recorded. In so far as receipt of gift of Rs. 8 lacs, the AO, inter alia, noted that: (a) There was no social occasion involved when the gift was made by the donor to the donee. (b) The donor's total worth was of just Rs. 6 to 7 lacs, which was too inadequate to make gift. (c) The appellant was receiving gift from someone, even when the donor's own sons were there, which was against human probability. (d) The credits which were there, out of which gifts were made, were not explained by the appellant by producing evidences in support of the donor's claim of the same being out of sale proceeds of house.

.... hands only some social or pious occasions. In Indian social mileu/society it is a fact that wives of brothers generally have strained relationship. Exchange of Gifts, in Indian social mileu, between the wives of brothers is unheard of. Strange fact of donor's making gift of almost entire sale consideration profusely indicates that the Gift transaction is not genuine. Affidavit / Confirmation or the receipt of amount by cheque at best explains the form and not the substance and all these just explain the receipt of amount from Rekha Arora (so called donor) but these do not prove that the amount was genuinely received as a genuine gift. With this dismissing Ground Nos. 2 to 8 & II of the appeal are dismissed and the order of the AO is up....

.... she had made declaration on oath in respect of gift being made to the appellant; that the AO, without having any doubt in respect of the genuineness and credit worthiness of the donor and without pointing out any discrepancy in the documents filed before him in support of the explanation offered by the appellant, had rejected the explanation and had made the addition under section 68 of the Act, against which, an appeal was preferred before the ld. CIT(Appeals), who too, without pointing out any defect, either in the explanation offered before the AO, or in the documents filed in support of the gift, has rejected the explanation and has sustained the addition made by the AO under section 68 of the Income Tax Act, treating the gift at Rs. 8....

....ny doubt in respect of the explanation offered before him in support of the gift received by the appellant, had rejected the explanation, particularly prior to the issue of cheque at Rs. 8 lakh by the donor; and that the deposits in the bank account are not in dispute, nor the AO had made any adverse comment in respect of the deposit in the account of the donor, which the CIT(Appeals) has also not doubted. 8. Thus, as per the assessee, the Authorities below have not considered the above documentary evidence filed by the assessee. 9. Per contra, the ld. DR strongly relies on the impugned order. He contends that as rightly held by the ld. CIT(A), during the first appeal proceedings, the appellant had reiterated the submissions which wer....
