Jaiswal Plastic Tubes Ltd. v. ACIT (2022) 288 Taxman 779 / 215 DTR 161 / 327 CTR 757 / ( 2023) 451 ITR 540 (Orissa)(HC)

S. 68 : Cash credits-Inflated credit balance-Not furnished evidence in spite of sufficient opportunity was granted-Addition is held to be justified.

Assessee gave an explanation, but Assessing Officer considered it to be vague, unsubstantiated and illogical and therefore rejected it. Accordingly, inflated credit balance of RIL was added as income of assessee. On appeal the Court held that-sufficient opportunity was granted to assessee to furnish evidence to prove genuineness of such credit balance, however, assessee was unable to avail of such opportunity. Addition on account of unexplained/non-existence alleged sundry creditors was justified. (AY. 2003-04)
