The Commissioner Of Income Tax Iii vs Sfil Stock Broking Ltd on 27 April, 2010

It is apparent from the fact that according to the AO, Investigation Wing has informed that assessee company has received accommodation entry of Rs. 10 lacs in the garb of share application money which is said to be as per inquiry made by the Directorate of Investigation (DI) on the persons said to be involved providing accommodation entries/ bogus share application. Based on inquiries made, DI is said to have provided details of persons who are beneficiaries of such accommodation entries and one such beneficiary is said to be the assessee. In this case notice u/s. 148 of the Act was issued merely on the basis of information from D.I. that the assessee has received accommodation entry of Rs.10 laks. There is no mention of any application of mind or any independent inquiry or any link between any tangible material and formation of reasons to believe that income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment. It is also noted that in the reasons recorded, the AO has made vague remarks that assessee has income chargeable to tax which has escaped assessment. The AO has not even specified as to what is the amount of alleged income escaping assessment, which shows that AO has merely recorded certain unsubstantiated allegations on the basis of some information received, which is against the principle laid down by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT vs SFIL Stock Broking Ltd. (2010) 325 ITR 285 (Del), wherein it was observed that reassessment proceedings were initiated on the basis of information received from investigation wing regarding alleged accommodation entries and it has been held by jurisdictional Delhi High Court that mere information received from DDIT(Inv) cannot constitute valid reasons for initiating reassessment proceedings in the absence of anything to show that A.O. had independently 12 applied his mind to arrive at a belief that the income had escaped assessment. Thus, the AO has acted mechanically and without any independent application of mind. The reasons recorded are therefore vague, highly non specific and reflect complete non-application of mind. It is also noted that there is no live link or direct nexus between alleged material and, inference. It is further noted that initiation of proceedings is also based on non application of mind much less independent application of mind but is a case of borrowed satisfaction. Nothing is independently examined or considered by the AO which can demonstrate non-application of mind by him. There is nothing to show that the cash is paid from coffers of the assessee. Reasons do no indicate as to who AO reached to the conclusion that the assessee received accommodation entry and escaped assessment. To support my aforesaid view, I draw support from the following decisions:-

Principal Commissioner Of Income Tax 6 vs M/S Meenakshi Overseas Pvt Ltd on 19 January, 2018

13. As in the above case, even in the present case, the Court is unable to discern the link between the tangible material and the formation of the reasons to believe that income had escaped assessment. In the present case too, the information received from the Investigation Wing cannot be said to be 14 tangible material per se without a further inquiry being undertaken by the AO. In the present case the AO deprived himself of that opportunity by proceeding on the erroneous premise that Assessee had not filed a return when in fact it had.
