It can be said to purchase securities prior to record date only when the same has been purchased within a period 26/9/03 to 25.12.2003 Also the second clause of the sec. do not apply to the assessee as the securities has been sold on 27.3.04 the day on which the assessee received the cheque as evident from the letter of the company M/s Sunda .....

The learned DR has submitted that when the date of purchase and record date are same then how the units are purchased beyond the three months from the date of record and therefore, the assessee's transactions false under the clause (a) of sub-section 7 of section 94 of the Income-tax act. The ld.

She contended that the assessee had submitted counterfoil of cheque received from the company to prove that the cheque date was 27.3.2004. Relying on the submissions and inviting to the provisions of section 94(7), the learned AR submitted that the assessee's case is not hit by the provisions of section 94(7) and thus additions made be deleted. 11.

Hence, we are not impressed or convinced with the contention of the learned A.R. that the units purchased on the date of record does not fall within the period of three months before the date of record for the purpose of section 94(7). 13. In view of above discussion, we do not find anything to be interpreted as provided in the provisions of section 94(7) but the need is only to understand the meaning of the provision, which should not le .....
