....He stated that he is constructing one hospital where in he has inflated the cost of construction of the hospital and received cash back from various suppliers and that cash back received on inflation of the cost is used for obtaining share capital in various companies.

....because the same has also been added in the hands of the company on protective basis and companies has already reduced the claim of depreciation, so now its duplication of addition as WDV of the fixed assets of the company which constructed the fixed assets has already been reduced therefore, this amounts to double addition.

....e assessee has resulted into the triple addition because firstly the company where assets are acquired has already reduced its claim of depreciation in earlier years for which the appeals of already been dismissed of the revenue. It is also reduced in this Ay also. iv. Assessee has submitted the complete bills of the cost of assets purchased during the year and cost of construction incurred during the year. He stated that the learned Assessing officer should have enquired from the suppliers independently. v. With respect to the addition of Rs. 30 lakhs on account of sum paid to Ram Dulari , he submitted that above document is a dumb document and no addition can be made in the hands of assessee. 9. We have carefully considered the rival contention and perused the orders of the lower authorities. The brief facts of the cases that during the course of search at the residence and the business premises of the assessee, he voluntarily surrendered a sum of Rs. 123 lakhs in a statement recorded under section 132 (4) of the act on 6/2/2009.

.... this basis. Further, with respect to addition of Rs. 30 lakhs on account of advance paid to Ms Ram Dulari she accepted the contention of the assessee that, there is no evidence of earning such a huge unaccounted income and so the addition is based on dumb documents. Therefore this appeal filed by revenue. 10. It is apparent that appeals of the revenue against the deletion of the addition for A.Y. 2007 - 08 and 2008 - 09 has been dismissed by the coordinate bench on account of low tax effect. However, that does not influence the issues in this appeal. 11. Admittedly on the date of search 6/2/2009, assessee made disclosure in statement u/s 132 (4) of the act admitting undisclosed income of Rs. 123 Lakhs in the hands of the assesses. Later on assessee retracted it on 13/10/2000, i.e. after 1 and ½ years. In fact, the assessee has merely stated by a letter that disclosure is not in the hands of the assessee as income. According to him, it is inflation in cost of assets. Assessee received cash back to the extent of disclosure from suppliers. Hence, hence there is only impact in the reduced depreciation of assets in the hands of the companies where assets are capitalized. Now w....

Two of them are companies and one is an individual. No details were verified by the ld CIT (A) to ascertain whether the assessee has really inflated the cost of assets and has taken theses accommodation entries. No evidence was filed with respect to the various shareholders. 16. Further no evidence were shown by the assessee with respect to what is the inflated cost, what is the actual cost and how the money has been received , from whom it is received, how it is utilized, and through whom the accommodation entries with respect to the share capital from two companies were obtained. Even before us, assessee did not produce any such information. 17. In our opinion, the whole story created by the assessee is with respect to avoiding the tax on the income disclosed by him and get it adjusted the same against the depreciation claim of the other companies. 18. Assessee has not submitted any cash flow statement, which can be substantiated by the assessee with actual dates of receipt of cash and introductio....
