During the year the assessee has transferred the amount to the share application account from advance for flats. Thus no fresh amount has been received by the assessee during the year u/s 68 of the IT Act. The amount held to be added in the year in which the amount is credited in the books of accounts of the assessee where the assessee has offered an explanation about the nature of the concern of the amount or explanation offered by the assessee before the AO is not satisfactory.

On plain reading of Sec.69 it is evident that there has to be an investment made by the assessee in the current year for that amount to be assessable as income u/s 69 of the Act. In the case of the appellant, on the facts, circumstances and evidences on record, there is absolutely no fresh incoming or outgoing which was not recorded in the books of account. From the audited balance sheets as at 31.3.2004 and 313.2003, placed on page- 6 of the paper book, it is seen that the balance of Rs.21,33,399/- as "Advance for Flats" stood as such in the accounts of those years.

Under these facts, in our opinion, it is not a case where the provision of section 69 will be applicable. We accordingly confirm the order of the ld. CIT(A) and delete the addition of Rs.9,84,500/-. 7. In the result ground no.2 taken by the revenue stand dismissed. 8. Ground No.3 relates to the addition of Rs.5,21,577/-. The AO no .....

The assessment has been framed u/s 144 of the IT Act and the copy of the ledger account along with the details of the party were also filed by the assessee for the first time before the ld. CIT(A). Under these facts and circumstances of the case,in our opinion, the assessee has not discharged his onus fully and the AO could not examine the books of accounts of the assessee whereas this information are reflected in the books of assesee.
