This document provides a detailed examination of the ITA No. 1095/DEL/2019 case, where Subhshree Investment Management P.Ltd was scrutinized under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act. The case involved a significant addition of Rs. 15,62,00,000 to the company’s income, attributed to unverified share capital receipts.
The case stemmed from a scrutiny assessment following a search and seizure operation related to the Priya Gold Group. Subhshree Investment was implicated due to transactions noted during these operations, leading to questions about the legitimacy of their share capital amounting to over Rs. 15 crores.
The Assessing Officer (AO) challenged the creditworthiness and genuineness of the share capital received by Subhshree. Despite the company’s claims that these were merely book entries and not actual capital, the AO added the amount to their taxable income, a decision upheld by the CIT(A).
The Tribunal reviewed the assessments and appeals, noting the company’s failure to substantiate the source of the funds. It was determined that the documentation provided did not adequately establish the identity or financial capacity of the contributors, validating the addition under Section 68.
This case underscores the importance of maintaining clear and verifiable records of financial transactions, especially in dealings that involve substantial amounts of money. The decision also highlights the rigorous standards applied by tax authorities in assessing the legitimacy of financial operations.
