Issue: Addition of cash deposit under Section 69A. - Summary: The appeal was filed against the addition of Rs. 36,78,540 under Section 69A of the Income Tax Act, treating the cash deposit as unexplained. - Details: The assessee, engaged in the cloth and tailor business, declared a total income of Rs. 2,19,370. The Assessing Officer (AO) observed a cash deposit of Rs. 57,49,000 in the SBI account. The AO sought justification for the deposit, and after receiving replies, noted discrepancies in the source of Rs. 19,00,000 and required confirmation from debtors. Additionally, deposits with a cooperative bank were questioned. Despite submissions and notices to debtors, incomplete information led to the addition of Rs. 36,78,540.
