Nobody is disputing the purchases made through these 4 credit cards but issues regarding re-sale these purchased items at a discount of 3% to the seller on spot are disputed as no confirmation or supporting evidences were produced to prove his contention. It is noted here that purchased items varied from sarees, furniture, jewellery & handicraft items and fuel refill at HP fuel station, personal draft (DD) purchase. Many times, purchases were made from same seller e.g. Laxmi Jeweller, Jain Furniture, KK Gems, Krishna Photo, RK Handicrafts, SS Gems, Radhika Sarees & making centre, Vijay Light House, etc. In absence of any credible evidence, assessee's contention of re-selling products at a discount @ 3% to same vendor cannot be accepted as true. It is pertinent to note that assessee deals in gift items and most of items purchased were jewellery, handicrafts, textile items, etc so is the case of cash deposits. No nexus is proved purchase/ discounted sale and cash deposits as 8 ITA 442/JP/2015_ Kamlesh Nandwani Vs ITO date and amounts are not matching (Reference: credits cards statements compiled data as above). Further, cash deposits aggregating to Rs. 16,12,175/- is also not backed by documentary evidences. In view of these facts, AO's action is justified and assessee's appeal on this ground stands dismissed."
3. I have heard both the sides on this issue. While pleading on behalf of the assessee, the ld AR tried to explain that the assessee was purchasing goods by making payments through credit cards and then the same was returned to the seller on 3% discount. The assessee was getting cash up to 97% of the purchase value. It is claimed that the source of the deposit of cash in the bank account was from such return of the cash received. However, when he was asked during the hearing that whether these narrations can be get confirmed by any of the person from whom the assessee has entered into such transactions by credit card. He submitted that in his view, none of them shall be able to confirm that such transactions have taken place. The ld AR has stated that there is no documentary evidence in support of these recitals. The details of the purchased items shows that these were the purchases for the requirement of the assessee or family members. These were the personal expenditure met out by the assessee through his credit cards. The items purchased are sarees, jewellery, handicrafts and payment to petrol pumps. Items purchases suggest that the 9 ITA 442/JP/2015_ Kamlesh Nandwani Vs ITO assessee had purchased various items for him or family members. The claim of the assessee that he was returning the goods back to the seller at the 3% discount to generate cash for payment of credit card dues on account of financial crisis, is completely unsustainable. This statement is not supported by any documentary or oral evidence. It is a completely bald assertion which has no legs to stand. Therefore, such pleadings of the assessee cannot be accepted. The other pleading of the assessee that purchases by credit cards should be taken as turnover and the GP should be estimated on this turnover is also completely baseless, I am of the view that this contention of the assessee is also completely unsustainable and without any supporting document or oral evidence. Such recitals not supported by any evidence are unsustainable in law and facts. The last plea of the ld AR was that the Assessing Officer has added both the cash deposited in the payment of credit cards account and also the purchases made through these credit cards. He pleaded that only one side addition may be made. On this issue, I am of the view that the assessee had purchased the goods through credit cards and payment was made by unaccounted cash. The source of cash is not explained. The repayments have been made by depositing unaccounted cash of these purchases. The source of these purchases is unexplained. For working 10 ITA 442/JP/2015_ Kamlesh Nandwani Vs ITO out the quantum of disallowance, the matter is restored back to the file of ld. CIT(A).
4. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes Order pronounced in the open court on 28/11/2017.
