8. A perusal of the section would indicate that basically this section
contemplates three conditions required to be fulfilled by an assessee. In other
words, the assessee is required to give explanation which will exhibit nature
of transaction and also explain the source of such credit. The explanation
should be to the satisfaction of the AO. In order to give such type of
explanation which could satisfy the AO, the assessee should fulfill three
ingredients viz. (a) identity of the share applicants, (b) genuineness of the
transaction, and (c) credit-worthiness of share applicants. As far as
construction of section 68 and to understand its meaning is concerned, there is
no much difficulty. Difficulty arises when we apply the conditions
formulated in this section on the given facts and circumstances. In other
words, it has been propounded in various decisions that section 68
contemplates that there should be a credit of amounts in the books of an
assessee maintained by the assessee, (b) such amount has to be a sum received
during the previous year, (c) the assessee offers no explanation about the
nature and source of such credit found in the books, or (d) the explanation
offered by the assessee is not, in the opinion of the Assessing Officer,
satisfactory. The Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT v. Novadaya
