19 October 2011 The company in question is a pvt ltd company. it has old share applicaiton money received from a pvt company (received in INR so no FEMA implication)

The investee co has confirmed the funds given towards share application

Can this share applicaiton money attract the income tax assessing officer for non-allotment. if yes, under which section?

please provide the supporting case law, if any available.

19 October 2011 it is a capital receipt hence share application money for non allotment does not attract any tax.
