The ITAT partially allowed the appeal, deleting the addition of Rs.5,25,114 and upholding Rs.74,886 under section 69A r.w.s. 115BBE of the IT Act 1961. The decision stressed the significance of providing explanations for cash sources during demonetization and reconciling cash balances to substantiate claims.
Issues: Challenge to addition of Rs.6,00,000 under section 69A r.w.s. 115BBE of the IT Act 1961.
Analysis: 1. The assessee contested the addition of Rs.6,00,000 as unexplained money deposited during demonetization. The Assessing Officer added the amount under section 69A of the Act, citing lack of satisfactory evidence regarding the source of the cash. The AO questioned the need for a large cash balance when income was credited through banks and expenses were minimal. The AO treated the deposited amount as unaccounted income, initiating penalty proceedings.
2. The CIT(A) dismissed the appeal, noting discrepancies in the cash book and the inability of the assessee to prove the source of the deposited cash. The CIT(A) highlighted that the cash in hand did not match the deposit amount. The assessee then appealed to the ITAT.
3. The ITAT analyzed the case, considering the cash deposited during demonetization. The assessee explained that the deposit comprised cash withdrawals and opening cash in hand. The ITAT verified the cash balances from bank statements and the cash book. It observed that post-demonetization, cash withdrawals were in new currency, indicating the deposited cash was from old currency notes available till 08/11/2016. The ITAT directed the AO to delete the addition of Rs.5,25,114, as it was satisfactorily explained. However, the remaining Rs.74,886 addition was upheld due to lack of satisfactory explanation.
4. The ITAT partially allowed the appeal, deleting the addition of Rs.5,25,114 and upholding Rs.74,886. The judgment emphasized the importance of explaining cash sources during demonetization and reconciling cash balances to support claims.
