The parties acquired the shares in DMAT Account out of their own fund and which then were sold in the open market. The group companies simply provided the bills of sale of purchase. 7. Under such facts and circumstances of the case, the AO arrived at that the total transaction of Rs. 1,14,93,377/- is to be treated as unexplained credit u/s. 69C under the head income from other sources and added the same to the total income of the assessee.

We also found that as per the assessment order framed for the assessment year 2006-2007 vide order dated 31/03/2015 passed under Section 153A read with Section 143(3), the AO has already brought to tax Rs. 70,27,062/- under the head income from other sources. Under these circumstances, when during the year under consideration, assessee has not made any payment on account of purchase of share nor received any payment on account of sale of shares, there does not arise any justification for making any addition under Section 69C by presuming that assessee has made payment for the purchases without disclosing its source.

Under these facts and circumstances, the addition so made was deleted by the Tribunal.
