Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The assessee, Third Generation Traders Pvt. Ltd., is a resident corporate entity engaged in trading in shares and other investments. A search and seizure operation was conducted at the residential premises of Sh. Kaushal Kumar, an employee of Sh. Anand Kumar Jain and Sh. Naresh Kumar Jain (Jain Brothers). During the operation, certain documents and hard disks were seized, including a ledger mentioning the name of the assessee. Based on this information, the Assessing Officer recorded a satisfaction note implicating the assessee. The Assessing Officer treated various credit entries in the books as unexplained cash credit under section 68 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and added them back to the income of the assessee. Additionally, the Assessing Officer estimated the unaccounted commission income by applying a rate of 0.25% to the total credit entries. The assessee appealed against these additions, and the first appellate authority deleted the additions.…
