..... ith 49% share capital. The assessee is engaged in the business of publication of magazine in the gems and jewellery sector. For the assessment year under consideration, the AO noted from the balance sheet of the assessee that during the year, the share capital of the assessee has been increased by ₹ 4,00,00,000/- (Rupees four crores only). He asked the assessee to furnish necessary details in this respect. The assessee accordingly furnished the necessary details to the AO including the names of the subscribers, PAN numbers, annual financial report of subscribers, cash flow statements etc. However, the AO was not satisfied by the details submitted by the assessee and observed that the assessee has failed to prove the source, identity of the subscribers and the genuineness of the transaction. He, therefore, made the addition of the above amount of ₹ 4,00,00,000/- as unexplained credits under section 68 of the Act into the taxable income of the assessee. Being aggrieved by the order of the AO, the assessee preferred appeal before the Ld. CIT(A). 4. It was explained before the Ld.

..... 10-11. Moreover, during the assessment proceedings for the earlier assessment year A.Y. 2009-10, this issue was duly examined by the AO and being satisfied, no additions were made by him. In view of this, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the Ld. CIT(A) while deleting the addition of ₹ 2,94,00,000/- out of the total disputed addition of ₹ 4,00,00,000/-. 6. It is pertinent to mention here that the AO while computing the income of the assessee had wrongly mentioned the figure of addition of ₹ 6 crore whereas the total share capital introduced by the assessee was of ₹ 4,00,00,000/-. This fact has also not been disputed by the Revenue. We, therefore, do not find any merit in the appeal of the Revenue regarding the action of the Ld. CIT(A) in deleting the above addition of ₹ 2,94,00,000/-. Now coming to the assessee s appeal bearing ITA No.2259/M/2015. ITA No.2259/M/2015 (Assessee s appeal) 7. The assessee in its appeal has taken the following grounds: 1.

..... he said income was duly accounted in the F.Y. 2008-09. However, the customers might have accounted the expenses in next year. Therefore, the said amount is appearing in form 26AS as income of F.Y. 2009-10. The Ld. A.R. bringing our attention to copies of the relevant ledger accounts has stated that all the entries of receipts have been duly accounted for and that the matter may be restored to the file of the AO for verification and reconciliation of these entries. 14. The Ld. D.R., on the other hand, has relied upon the findings of the lower authorities. After considering the relevant submissions, we are of the view that if the receipts have already been booked by the assessee in F.Y. 2008-09, the same cannot be booked as income of the assessee for the next year i.e. F.Y. 2009-10. However, the relevant receipts/entries need to be verified by the AO. We accordingly restore this issue to the file of the AO for reconciliation of these entries and if the claim of the assessee is found to be correct, then no addition will be made in respect of the receipts already booked in the earlier assessment year. This issue is accordingly treated as allowed in favour of the assessee. Gr .....
