AI Insights

The case involves Sanghvi Realty Private Limited, which faced scrutiny from the Income Tax Department regarding the genuineness of call money received and unsecured loans during the assessment years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The Assessing Officer (AO) made additions under section 68 of the Income Tax Act, suspecting these transactions to be non-genuine. The assessee contested these additions, providing various documents and evidence during the appellate proceedings. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [CIT(A)] partially upheld some additions but deleted others based on the evidence provided. Both the revenue and the assessee appealed to the Tribunal, which ultimately decided in favor of the assessee, dismissing the revenue's appeals and allowing the assessee's appeal for the assessment year 2018-19.

It is noted that, for assessment year 2017-18 and 2018-19 the call money received from Narois Impex Pvt. Ltd. And Empower Industries Ltd. Has been accepted by the assessing officer as per the remand report furnished. The Ld.CIT(A) thus deleted the addition u/s.68 of the Act in respect of these two companies. 6.2. In respect of Duralloy Cutters Ltd. And Real Stone Expots Pvt. Ltd., the assesse furnished complete details establishing Printed from counselvise.com 21 ITA No. 1965, 1966 & 1957/Mum/2025; A.Y. 2017-18 & 2018-19 Sanghvi Realty Private Limited genuineness of the transaction during the assessment year 2017- 18 and no addition was made in the hands of the assesse. The Ld.AO doubted the balance call money received during assessment year 2018-19. It is noted that there is no consistency in action of the assessing officer. 6.3. In our opinion the share capital and share premium got finalised and accepted by the department during the assessment year relevant to financial year 2009-10 and 2010-11 which was subject to verification by the assessing officer in scrutiny assessment for those years. Thereafter any subsequent payment received by the assessee from the applicants in respect of the same cannot be doubted more so when the three ingredients under section 68 of the Act was accepted by the assessing officer for assessment year 2017-18. Merely because notice under section 133(6) was not responded during the assessment proceedings for the assessment year 2018-19, the transaction cannot be doubted, unless there is any contrary evidence in the coffers of the revenue. We therefore do not find any reason to upheld the disallowance confirmed by the Ld.CIT(A) in respect of call money received from Duralloy Cutters Ltd. And Real Stone Expots Pvt. Ltd. Accordingly, the grounds raised by the revenue in their appeals for assessment years 207-18 and 2018-19 stands dismissed and grounds 1(a) and 1(b) raised by the assessee for assessment year 2018-19 stands allowed.

Grounds 2(a) and 2(b) are raised by the assessee for assessment year 2018-19 challenging addition confirmed on account of unsecured loan of Rs.12,00,000/- from M/s. Golden Tobacco Ltd., and interest paid thereon. 7.1. The Ld.AR submitted that, during the course of assessment proceedings, the assessee filed the confirmation of all loan creditors during the year under consideration as under: a. Confirmation of the loan from party giving complete details of name, address, and PAN. b. Details of interest paid. c. The details of TDS deducted on interest. 7.2. The Ld.AO out of the 12 unsecured loan creditors accepted the transaction from 11 parties. However, rejected the loan transaction with M/s. Golden Tobacco Ltd. As the assessee did not furnished relevant documents in respect of this company. The Ld.AR submitted that, the assessee was not granted sufficient time to procure documents from M/s. Golden Tobacco and before the same was could be filed assessment order was passed. The Ld.AO thus made the disallowance u/s.68 in respect of unsecured loan from M/s. Golden Tobacco and disallowed the interest expenditure of Rs.3,39,694/-. 7.3. The Ld.AR submitted that, during the appellate proceeding, once again the loan confirmation letter by M/s.
