..... therefore the issue is no longer open before the AO and that the appeal against the same is pending before the CIT(A).

..... record, the Assessing Officer held that the company s rate per share at ₹ 10/- is reasonable and acceptable, but the premium amount of ₹ 1,440/- is towards receiving benefits from the then Government in the form of clearances, approvals and allotment of projects without expecting anything from the assessee-company i.e., Bharathi Cement Corporation Private Limited.

CIT ) has erred in law as well as on facts while directing addition of ₹ 50,00,00,000/- towards share application money received in Assessment Year ( AY ) 2009-10; 2. Because, the Ld.
