We find that the entire loans have been received only by account payee cheques which fact is not disputed by the revenue. We find that the assessee had filed confirmations from all the five parties. However, in respect of confirmation from last three parties namely Babcock Engineering Services, Ms. Nitasha Shah and Nevada Udyog, the same were filed before the Learned AO after the completion of assessment. Hence obviously the same were not available for verification by the Learned AO. In respect of confirmation filed from first two parties filed before the Learned AO, no verification was carried out on the same by him. Hence we deem it fit and appropriate in the interest of justice and fair play, to set aside this issue to the file of the Learned AO and verify the veracity of the confirmations filed by the assessee from the five parties and decide this issue afresh uninfluenced by earlier decision after giving adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee.

The Learned DR vehemently supported the order of the Learned AO. In response to this, the Learned AR argued that a clear finding has been given by the Learned CITA in para 5.2 of his order and no interference is called for in this regard. 3.3. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the materials available on record. We find that the findings given by the Learned CITA is not refuted by the revenue before us .

We have heard the rival submissions and perused the materials available on record. We find that the assessee had given the names and addresses of the parties from whom loans were received by him together with the confirmations and PAN details of those parties. However, we find that the Learned AO had doubted the creditworthiness of the parties who had advanced monies to the assessee. We find that the entire loans have been received only by account payee cheques which fact is not disputed by the revenue. We find that the assessee had filed confirmations from all the five parties.
