Case Law Details
PCIT Vs Anmol Stainless Pvt. Ltd. (Calcutta High Court)
We find from the order passed by the tribunal that the assessing officer has complied with the direction issued by the CIT(A) and has given effect to the order and no adverse finding has been recorded by the assessing officer and accordingly the addition was deleted. Therefore, the tribunal would have been well justified in rejecting the revenue’s appeal which was filed against the order passed by the CIT(A). Nevertheless the tribunal took upon itself the exercise to examine the factual position probably realising that they are the last fact finding authority in the hierarchy of authorities provided under the Act. After making an elaborate factual exercise the tribunal examined the credit worthiness of the investors and found that three share applicants were income tax assessees; they were filing return of income; share application form and allotment letter were available on record; the share application money was paid by the account payee cheques; details of bank account belonging to the share applicants and their bank statements were available; the assessing officer did not find any amount to be deposited in cash; the share applicants have substantial credit worthiness; the share applicants have common directors; all the directors are income tax assessees and all the three share applicants are sister concern. Thus, the tribunal was satisfied that the credit worthiness and the genuinity of the investments have been sufficiently established by the assessee not only before the CIT(A), but also before the assessing officer on the matter being sent back to the assessing officer pursuant to the order passed by the CIT(A).
Thus, we find that there is no question of law much less substantial question of law arising for consideration in this appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
