Pee Aar Securities Ltd Vs DCIT (ITAT Delhi)

The assessee before us is a private limited company which is, by law, prohibited from offering its securities for subscription by general public. It cannot, therefore, be really open to the assessee to say that we have no clue about who the subscribers to the share capital are; these cannot be rank outsiders or walk in subscribers- as perhaps in the cases of public limited companies.

Yet, all that the company has to offer, to establish genuineness of transactions of subscribing to the shares, are the bank statements. The assessee is not able to produce the brains behind these companies and the documents with respect to the their financials either. As for the other documents, these documents have to be there for issuance of share capital anyway- genuine subscription or not so genuine subscription. Genuineness of a transaction cannot be demonstrated on the basis of these documents.

The assessee has not been able to produce the principal officers of these entities, but then, given the way the facts about these entities have unfolded, the reasons for the limitations of the assessee are not difficult to seek. As per decisions of this Tribunal filed by the assessee on his own, these entities, as indeed other entities in Tarun Goyal group, were never involved in any genuine business anyway and were only in the business of providing accommodation entries.
