In the instant case, the assessee company has neither accepted any share application money nor availed any unsecured loans. The assessee company has sold shares to the alleged parties in the normal course of its business and that too at a smart profit. Had it been the intention of the assessee company to introduce its so called unaccounted money, it would have taken the simple and cost effective route of introducing it through share application money instead of showing sales thereby earning profit of Rs. 10.50 lacs. More so, even if the version of the Id.
