He held that the assessee had explained the source of funds for investments made in the previous year and therefore no addition could be made u/s 69 of the Act. The CIT(A) accordingly deleted the addition made by the AO. 9. The CIT(A) further noticed that the assessee had earned short term capital gain of ₹ 14,97,103/- on redemption of units of mutual funds during the previous year which were explained as source for making various investments in mutual funds during the relevant previous year. The details in this regard were as follows :- 10. The CIT(A) found that the assessee had not disclosed the aforesaid short term capital gain in his return of income. The CIT(A) accordingly directed the AO to bring to tax the short term capital gain of ₹ 14,97,103/-. 11. Aggrieved by the relief granted by the CIT(A) the revenue is in appeal before the tribunal. 12. The ld. DR relied on the remand report of the AO dated 11.12.2015 filed before the CIT(A) and submitted that when an investment matures for payments during the previous year the sum received on such maturity should also be regarded as a fresh source and even the source for ma .....

The case of the AO in the remand report was that on redemption of the investments made in the earlier year during the previous year, the investments made during the previous year becomes fresh investment. This stand of the AO is contrary to the provisions of sec.69 of the Act. There is no dispute about that fresh investments have been made during the year but all such investments have come out of the maturity of the investments made in earlier years. Therefore the source of investments made during the year have been explained. In view of the above the addition of ₹ 3,29,00,000/- cannot be sustained as unexplained investment of the assessee during the assessment year in question and was rightly deleted by the CIT(A). Further the earlier year s assessment have been reopened by the AO u/s 148. The source of funds for making investments of the units of Mutual funds which matured for payment can be examined only in the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which the investment was made. 16. In our view the above conclusions drawn by the CIT(A) is in accordance with law and does not r ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
