..... record forming part of the paper book we are of the considered opinion that the sale consideration received from sale of equity shares at ₹ 49,66,501/- cannot be treated as unexplained cash credit u/s 68 of the Act because assessee has offered complete explanation about the nature and source of the credit which has happened in the year under appeal through bank transaction and complete details of M/s Grishma Securities P.
