Suprersmelt Industries Pvt. Ltd Vs ITO (ITAT Kolkata)

Share Capital & Premium Addition u/s 68 Deleted – Documentary Evidence Ignored & No Enquiry by AO – High Premium Alone Not Ground for Addition – ITAT Kolkata

ITAT Kolkata deleted addition of ₹6.56 Cr u/s 68 towards share capital/share premium holding that assessee furnished complete evidences including confirmations, ITRs, audited financials & bank statements proving identity, creditworthiness & genuineness of subscribers. Tribunal observed that AO made addition merely on general allegations of accommodation entry and high premium without conducting any independent enquiry or issuing notices u/s 133(6)/131. It was further held that valuation under Rule 11UA was accepted and no addition u/s 56 was made; hence Sec 68 addition based on presumptions was unsustainable. Following multiple Calcutta HC rulings, ITAT directed AO to delete entire addition. Appeal allowed in favour of assessee.
