The Authorities belowhave not justified in making an addition of Rs. 48,00,799/-being the amount collected as share application money under the facts and in the circumstances of the appellant's case. 5. The appellant craves leave of your Honour to add, alter, amend, rectify, and delete any of the grounds urged above. 6.

....ince the claim of depreciation is not disputed by the AO, so effectively the dispute is regarding expenditure of Rs. 7,86,31,911/-. The AO has made a disallowance of 5% of Rs. 8,20,96,945/-, which works out to Rs. 41,04,847/-. On the other hand the appellant has contended that 5% of Rs. 7,86,31,911/- only should be considered. Since a part of the expenditure debited to the P&L account has already been added back by the appellant in its computation of income, so this argument of the appellant is accepted and the disallowance is restricted to Rs. 39,31,596/-. Considering above the ground of appeal 2 of the appellant is partly allowed. 6.0 The grounds of appeal 3 and 4 relate to addition pertaining to Rs. 4,20,10,670/- being the security premium and Rs. 48,00,799/- being the share application money, as credited in the books of the appellant during the year under consideration. The addition was made by the AO as during assessment proceedings the appellant had failed to provide the details regarding identity of the shareholders, genuiness of the transactions and creditworthiness of the persons. 6.1 During appellate proceedings the additional evidence submitted by the appellant was a....

.... computation of income, which has been observed by the Ld.CIT(A) to cover the irregularities for which proper bills were not maintained. On the contrary the Ld.Sr.DR submitted that, the disallowance computed by the Ld.AO is reasonable and the same may be upheld. We have proposed submissions advanced by both sides in light of record space before us. 6. It is observed that total expenditure claimed by assessee in the P&L account was Rs. 8,21,18,595/- and assessee disallowed Rs. 34,86,684/- in the computation of income. It is a submission of assessee that travel expenses incurred amounting to Rs. 17,83,153/- for which assessee's is unable to substantiate by way of proper bills. It is the submission of the Ld.AR that, by considering the disallowance of 5% to the extent of the travel expenses incurred, irregularities if any would be covered. In the remand report we note that the Ld.AO is unable to identify the items against which the bills are not properly presented. However on the submissions advanced by Ld.AR now before us, it is justifiable to restrict the disallowance only to the extent of travel expenses. Whereas other expenses stands explained as most of the payments are statut....

....s promoters obligation of funding the assessee against which shares would be allotted by assessee. Section 68 of the Act requires an assessee to explain the nature and source of credit appearing in the books. In the present facts, the nature of credit is in the form of share capital and share premium. The source of credit is money received from such creditors, and one of the creditor being a non resident. We agree that the source of source need not be established by the assessee, however, the assessee needs to place on record details of source from where a creditor deposits monies into its books of account. The foot not relevant to section 68 refers to Circular No.5 dated 20/02/1969. This circular is in respect of monies brought into India by Non residents migrants.
