Deem Roll Tech Ltd. v. DCIT [ITA No. 437/Ahd/2018,
dt. 11-8-2020] : 2020 TaxPub(DT) 3128 (Ahd-Trib)
Additions sustained under section 68 where amounts were not
received in the assessment year of appeal
Facts:
It was held by the assessing officer and Commissioner
(Appeals) that assessee had collected share premium amounting to Rs. 2 crores
from various parties the onus of which could not be proved to satisfaction of
lower authorities thus sustaining addition under section 68. The Prime
grievance of the assessee was that they did not receive the amount in the said
assessment year but only in the subsequent asst. year only and had created a
journal entry crediting share application and creating an outstanding
obligation from the respective parties for the said asst. year which was
factual. On higher appeal -
Held in favour of the assessee that to sustain additions
under section 68 the said amounts should have been credited/received in the
hands of the assessee. When this did not happen the addition under section 68
fails.

The alternate plea of the assessee that the assessing
officer must have countered the proofs/evidences submitted by the assessee by
an independent enquiry did not have to be discussed elaborately as the amount
did not get credited in the said year in the first place which is what is
required as per section 68.
