Where assessee had not proved actual rendition of the foundation services and also whether alleged service providers possessed necessary expertise and infrastructure to render the foundation services, AO was justified in making addition of payments made to them, under section 69C.
This appeal, filed by the assesseee, being ITA No. 2960/Mum/2016, is directed against the appellate order dated 16.02.2016 passed by learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-3, Thane (hereinafter called the CIT(A)), for assessment year 2011-12, appellate proceedings had arisen before learned CIT(A) from the assessment order dated 25.03.2014 passed by learned Assessing Officer (hereinafter called the AO) u/s 143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter called the Act).
These two appeals, filed by the assessee, being ITA No. 2135/Mum/2013 & I.T.A. No. 4896/Mum/2015 for assessment year 2009- 10 and 2008-09 respectively are directed against two separate appellate orders dated 22.01.2013 and 25-02-2015 respectively passed by learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-33
Section 68 incorporates only a rule of evidence, placing the onus of proof on the assessee. There have been hardly any amendments in this section since its introduction.
The assessee further contended that additions cannot be made towards purchases merely on the basis of third party information ignoring the evidences filed to justify purchases. The assessee further contended before the lower authorities that the assessing officer neither pointed out any error or discrepancy in the books of account nor did make out any case of sales made outside the books of account.
Sub-section (2) of said section provides that no deduction in respect of any expenditure or allowance or set-off of any loss shall be allowed to the assessee under any provision of the Act in computing his income referred to in clause (a) of sub-section (1).
Merely because 133(6) notices issued to the party returned un-served though it was the same address, which was supplied by supplier while filing its income tax return, no fault can be put on the shoulder of assessee.

(ITAT Mumbai) In this case assessing officers main allegation is that two parties from whom appellant made purchases are involved in providing accommodation entries as per the list published by Maharashtra Sales Tax Department.

It is held that as the provision of Section 69C of the Act is not mandatory in nature, the Assessing Authority has full discretion either to add or not to add the unexplained expenditure in the income of the assessee based upon sound judicial principles
