INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 92CA

TPO dealt with the issue in detail and thereafter recorded an unequivocal finding in detail that transactions claimed by assessee were bogus and were shown in books of account without actually executing any documents taking delivery of goods, etc. Even assessee had shown an earlier date of purchase in its invoice copy as against date of original buyer which was much after the date of purchases shown by assessee. Accordingly, TPO was justified in treating SDT as bogus.
