Issue 1 - Refund of Flat Booked:
The appellant challenged the addition of Rs. 10,00,000 as a refund of a flat booked as unexplained income. The CIT(A) upheld this addition. The appellant later submitted additional evidence to support the source of the deposit, which was accepted by the tribunal. The tribunal admitted the documents and remanded the matter back to the Assessing Officer for reexamination based on the new evidence.

Issue 2 - Unexplained Bank Credits:
Multiple unexplained credits in bank deposits were challenged by the appellant. The tribunal found that certain deposits were adequately explained through withdrawals and remanded others for further verification. The tribunal set aside the CIT(A) order for a reexamination based on the additional evidence provided by the appellant.

Issue 3 - Unexplained Cash Deposits:
The appellant contested the addition of Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 50,000 in cash deposits in the bank account. The tribunal reviewed the cash withdrawal and deposit entries and concluded that the additions were not justified. The tribunal deleted the additions after finding that the cash deposits were adequately explained by corresponding cash withdrawals.

Issue 4 - Unexplained Deposits:
The tribunal examined the additions of Rs. 7,18,685 and Rs. 4,00,000 as unexplained deposits. The CIT(A) had confirmed these additions due to lack of confirmation. The tribunal remanded the matter back to the Assessing Officer for reexamination, emphasizing the need for proper verification and confirmation of the entries.

Issue 5 - Unexplained Gift Deposit:
The appellant disputed the addition of Rs. 1,75,000 as an unexplained gift deposit. The CIT(A) rejected the explanation due to the absence of confirmation. The tribunal upheld this decision, stating that lack of confirmation for a specific gift could not be overlooked based on acceptance of other gifts. The addition of Rs. 1,75,000 was confirmed by the tribunal.

In conclusion, the tribunal allowed the appeal for statistical purposes, remanding certain issues back to the Assessing Officer for reexamination based on additional evidence provided by the appellant. The tribunal emphasized the importance of proper verification and confirmation in determining the legitimacy of various deposits and credits.
