Cash credits under section 68 of the Act

Source of funds requirement for credited sums now requires creditor's explanation, with regulated venture funds exempted.

Amendment requires that any sum credited in an assessee's books-whether as loan, borrowing or other liability-will be treated as explained only if the source of funds is satisfactorily explained in the hands of the creditor or entry-provider; exception excludes regulated venture capital entities from this additional onus, and the change applies from the stated operative date to the listed assessment year and thereafter.
