Creditor Loans Validated: Section 68 Challenge Dismissed as Insufficient Evidence Fails to Prove Fund Irregularities

April 22, 2025

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

ITAT held that the addition under Section 68 for unsecured loans was inappropriate. The tribunal found the assessee established creditor identity through PAN, creditworthiness via bank statements and ITRs, and confirmed loan origin from creditors' own bank accounts. The Assessing Officer's addition was based on mere suspicion without clinching evidence proving the funds did not genuinely belong to the stated creditors. The tribunal deleted the contested addition, ruling in favor of the assessee based on comprehensive documentary evidence demonstrating loan authenticity and creditor legitimacy.
