Analysis:

Issue 1: Addition of alleged unexplained cash deposited in savings bank account
The appeal was filed against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for the Assessment Year 2008-09. The Assessee contested the addition of Rs. 18,37,895 on account of alleged unexplained cash deposited in the savings bank account. The Assessee's Representative argued that the income was below the tax limit, and the deposited amount was received from the sale of Jari in South India. It was highlighted that the income should be calculated based on profit elements, not the entire sale proceeds. The Departmental Representative supported the assessing officer's decision. The Tribunal noted that the Assessee was in the Jari sale business, and the deposited amount was the sale proceeds used for further transactions. Considering the turnover and provisions of section 44AD, the Tribunal directed the assessing officer to calculate the income at 10% of the total turnover for the Jari business. Additionally, a meager initial balance and subsequent deposits were considered as undisclosed investments for the business. Therefore, the Tribunal partly allowed the appeal, directing the re-calculation of the taxable income based on the provided guidelines.

In conclusion, the Tribunal partially allowed the appeal, emphasizing the need to calculate income based on profit elements rather than the total sale proceeds. The decision was made in consideration of the Assessee's business nature and turnover, directing the assessing officer to re-compute the taxable income accordingly.
