The corresponding entries in the books of the share holders for sale of shares to the assessee and allotment of fresh shares of the assessee by the assessee were furnished. The AO has admitted in his order about the allotment of shares sale of investment. We refer to Para 3 page 2 of the assessment order that mentions "These share holders fund have been shown as again invested in different private limited companies. Both receiving of share application money and investing in other private limited companies have been done through chain of transactions of share allottee companies assessee company and investee companies. However, the assessing officer rejected the contention of the assessee and made addition to the tune of Rs. 5,20,00,000/-. 4. Aggrieved by the order of the Assessing Officer, t....

.... assessee under a cloud, when prima facie evidence is in place, Logically, unless any amount is credited, the necessity to offer the explanation about the source of cash credit and rebuttal by the AO of the explanation of the assessee does not arise. The Section puts the assessee under a cloud, only after the first and primary evidence of receipt of money in the books of the assessee is found. The assessee must dispel that cloud to the reasonable satisfaction of the assessing authorities. In this case, the assessee had not received or credited any money as share application, the prima evidence does not exist and in such a situation the assessee was not obliged to explain that it is not out of his undisclosed income or form the source which has evaded the tax. 7. The assessee must dispel that cloud to the reasonable satisfaction of the assessing authorities. The argument is that as the assessee had not received or credited any money as share application, the prime evidence does not exist. In a recent judgement of Hon'ble ITAT Kolkata, in case of Wellman Wacoma Ltd. vs. DCIT it is held that. "In the instant case, the credit is in the form of receipt of share cap....

....edited in books on receipts of money. Unless there is any receipt of money, no income can be stated to have been earned either form disclosed source or undisclosed source. 5(3). The AR further replaced his reliance on the various judicial pronouncements as mentioned above in the submission of the appellate wherein it has been held that share application money/share capital cannot be added u/s 68 if the identity, creditworthiness and genuiness of the applicants/shareholders are established. The addition of Rs. 5,20,00,000/- raised by the way of Share Capital & Share Premium U/s 68 of the I.T. Act 1961 is not justified in view of the facts and legal provisions that all the transaction in respect thereof are as per agreements entered with the applicant companies and the same are duly recorded in the books of the company as well as the subscriber entities which are verifiable form their financial statements filed in response to notices u/s. 133(6), all these shareholders are bodies corporate incorporated under the companies Act, 1956 and they are regularly filing their Income Tax returns and thus their identity is established beyond doubt, the A.O. had not conducted any enquir....

.... in their respective replies to the said summons issued u/s 131 of the Act, furnished all relevant documents. The entire details of the share applicants, proving their identity, creditworthiness and genuineness of transactions were duly provided by the assessee during the course of assessment proceedings. The AO had thus erroneously stated that identity, creditworthiness and genuineness of the transactions has not been proved the assessee. 5(5). The AO failed to appreciate the fact that there was no sum credited in the books of account of the appellate and no money was received. The assessee had allotted its shares against the discharge of debts by journal entries in books. The AO failed to verify the facts of the case. The shares were allotted against the acquisition of investments under the agreements. The copies of these documents were also filed during the appellate proceedings. I find that there is no real cash entry on the credit side of the cash book. The shares were issued against the share. It is merely a notional entry and there is no real credit in the cash book and bank account. The question of inclusion of the amount of the entry unexplained cash credit cannot....
