The Assessing Officer relied solely on the Managing Director's retracted statement during a survey, leading to the addition. However, the Court noted that the statement was retracted shortly after its recording. The Court referred to previous decisions where it was held that additions based solely on retracted statements without further evidence were not sustainable. The Court emphasized that in this case, there was no additional evidence supporting the addition, and the Assessing Officer's reliance on the retracted statement was insufficient. Therefore, the Court found no error in the decisions of the CIT (A) and the Tribunal to delete the Rs. 2 crores from the assessment. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the deletion of the amount from the assessment and book profit calculation under Section 115JB.
