AO also in the assessment order has observed that the appellant company was a conduit company operated by Sh. Naresh Jain and Anand Jain to provide accommodation entries to various beneficiaries and said beneficiaries have already been identified. Accordingly, when the beneficiaries were identified, the addition in such cases can at best be that of commission earned on such accommodation entries. As far as charging of commission is concerned, it has been held in the case of Sh. Anand Jain and Sh. Naresh Jain that they were entry operators who were managing and controlling various shell concerns including the appellant for providing accommodation entries in lieu of commission. Hence, no addition on account commission is called for in this case. Since the assessee company is a conduit, the substantive addition has to be made in the name of the parties mentioned above as per the list given by the ld. AR. Hence, we hold that the ld.

A) has erred both on facts and in law in rejecting the explanations brought on record by the assessee to explain the nature of credit of the transactions. (ii) That the abovesaid addition has been confirmed ignoring the fact that the addition has been made by the AO based on suspicion only. 6. On the facts and circumstances of the case, the learned CIT (A) has erred both on facts and in law in holding that the assessee is involved in providing and taking accommodation entries in the form of share application money or unsecured loans. 4. For the sake of ready reference and completeness the order of the CIT(A) consisting of facts of the case and the adjudication thereof is reproduced below: 5. In Ground nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, the appellant has challenged the validity of the proceedings initiated and assessment order passed under section 153C of the Act. In this regard, it is noticed that there has been a search action in the case of Sh. Anand Kumar Jain and Sh. Naresh kumar Jain under section 132 of the Act.

The appellant in its written submission has tried to substantiate the genuineness of the credit transactions on the basis of documentary evidences submitted before the assessing officer. The appellant submitted that during the course of assessment proceedings it has discharged its onus u/s 68 of the Act by submitting documentary evidences in the form of confirmation, ITR acknowledgement, bank statements, Company master data of the companies, from whom funds were received during the year, in order to prove the identity and credit worthiness of the lender company and genuineness of the transaction. 6.2. In alternative, the appellant also submitted that even if the allegations and observations of the AO in the assessment order is assumed to be true then also there cannot be any addition in the hands of the appellant. The appellant in this regard has also submitted a fund flow statement depicting the source of funds and utilization of the same for payments to alleged beneficiaries. Accordingly, the appellant submitted that when the alleged beneficiaries are identified then no addition can be made in its hands since it has only acted as a conduit as has b .....

Naresh Jain and Anand Jain to provide accommodation entries to various beneficiaries and said beneficiaries have already been identified. Accordingly, when the beneficiaries were identified, the addition in such cases can at best be that of commission earned on such accommodation entries. But as far as charging of commission is concerned, it has been held in the case of Sh. Anand Jain and Sh. Naresh Jain that they were entry operators who were managing and controlling various shell concerns including the appellant for providing accommodation entries in lieu of commission. Accordingly, taking that logic there is no question of charging of commission income in the hands of the appellant company, since nothing has been earned by the company in this regard.
