Admissions of undisclosed income and loose-sheet evidence sustain assessment; AO's limited scrutiny doesn't invalidate Rs 25-30 lakh recoverable loans

SC upheld HC and Tribunal, dismissing the assessee's challenge. Court held that where the assessee made clear, categorical admissions of undisclosed income, AO's failure to further scrutinize submitted documents did not vitiate the assessment; documents may only be relevant if they show a higher figure than departmental determination. Loose sheets seized in search and printout statements, which the assessee did not dispute and accepted in sworn statements, could be relied on as evidence of undisclosed income. Findings on outstanding recoverable loans (approx. Rs. 25-30 lakhs) were affirmed, decision against the assessee.
