Income from undisclosed sources - Addition under section 68 - Long-term capital gain on sale of shares created as bogus on account of huge rise in sale price - Assessee proved genuineness of transaction
Assessee declared long-term capital gain on sale of shares as exempt under section 10(38). AO on account of an astronomical rise in price of the shares treated LTCG as bogus and made addition of sale proceeds of shares under section 68.Held: Shares were purchased through broker who had undertaken transactions of shares lying with assessee purchased in earlier years and same were sold after paying the taxes in the form of STT. The contract note for sale showed transactions timing, trade number and amount of STT paid on such shares. After sale of shares, amount of sale proceeds was credited in the bank account of assessee. Accordingly, assessee duly established genuineness of share transactions and merely based on surmises addition, could not be sustained.
