shareholders. In other words, only 21.79% shares have been freshly issued by the
company and the remaining 78.21% shares were sold and transferred by the existing
shareholders and net proceeds in respect of OFS were transferred to the existing
shareholders and therefore, it is wrong to hold that the company is the sole
beneficiary of IPO proceeds. Regarding decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the
cases of Brooke Bond India Ltd. vs. CIT [1997] 91 Taxman 26 (SC) and Punjab State
Industrial Development Corp. Ltd. vs. CIT [1997] 93 Taxman 5 (SC), it was submitted
that in relation to those cases, the assessee had issued fresh shares to increase its
share company and claimed expenses which were disallowed by the Revenue
authorities and in that background, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that though
the increase in the capital results in expansion of the capital base of the company and
incidentally that would help in the business of the company and may also help in the
profit making, the expenses incurred in that connection still retains the character of a
capital expenditure since the expenditure is directly related to the expansion of the
capital base of the company. It was submitted that in the instant case, there is an
increase in the capital base of the company only to an extent of issue of fresh shares
amounting to Rs. 59,73,136/- and proportionate to these shares, the company has
retained and not passed on the expenses to the respective shareholders. It was
accordingly submitted that the Ld.DRP has failed to appreciate the same and has
wrongly held that the company is the sole beneficiary of the IPO proceeds. Regarding
the findings of the DRP that the assessee has not incurred these expenses, it was
submitted that though the expenses were initially incurred by the company, however,
the assessee has consented to the incurrence and picking up her liability proportionate
to her shares offered as part of the offer for sale, the company has issued invoices on
the assessee and the assessee has received the net proceeds, after deducting the
expenses on proportionate basis. It was submitted that the assessee has given her
consent vide letter dated 25-11-2021 (APB Page 273) to the inclusion of 28,09,000
equity shares held by her as part of offer for sale subject to the terms of the issue as
mentioned in the prospectus and other agreements executed in relation to issue and
approval of SEBI and other regulatory authorities and has also authorized the company
