Facts Summary

The appellant, RKG Finvest Ltd., a company under the control of Sh. Surender Kumar Jain and his brother Sh. Virender Kumar Jain, filed an income tax return for the relevant year declaring a loss of Rs.31,06,159/-. The company had shown sales of shares of various companies, resulting in a loss of Rs.20,59,93,500/-. The shares were purchased at a high premium from companies that were later found to be paper companies with negative net worth. The Assessing Officer and the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) held that these transactions were sham transactions and treated the sale consideration as unexplained credits under section 68 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The appellant did not provide any evidence to counter these findings, leading to the disallowance of the loss and the addition of unexplained credits.
