of <h1>ITAT excludes undisclosed income from bank deposits, rules in favor of assessee</h1> <h3>INCOME TAX OFFICER. Versus DR. NAINA MOHAMMED.</h3> INCOME TAX OFFICER. Versus DR. NAINA MOHAMMED. - TTJ 008, 057, Issues:1. Addition of deposits in various banks as undisclosed income.2. Treatment of deposits made in the name of the assessee's wife.3. Inclusion of interest received by the assessee's wife in the assessment.Analysis:1. The first issue pertains to the addition of deposits in various banks as undisclosed income. The ITO made an addition of Rs. 26,586 based on deposits made by the assessee and his daughter, with no evidence provided for the source. The AAC allowed a relief, upholding an addition of Rs. 8,586 only. However, it was argued that a significant portion of the deposit was from a matured fixed deposit, which was supported by a letter from the bank. The ITAT found that the source of Rs. 20,108.83 was explained from the maturity of the fixed deposit, leaving a balance of Rs. 6,585. Given the assessee's income, it was deemed plausible that this balance could have been sourced from current resources, leading to the exclusion of the full addition.2. The second issue concerns deposits made in the name of the assessee's wife, which were treated as undisclosed income. The ITO added Rs. 15,700 as deposits made by the assessee, as no satisfactory evidence was provided regarding the source. The AAC, however, considered the balance shown in the savings bank account and deleted the addition. Upon reviewing the passbook, it was evident that the only accretion was interest, indicating no deposits in the relevant accounting period. The ITAT agreed with the AAC's decision, stating that the term 'deposit in post office savings bank' was not erroneous, and the amount of Rs. 15,700 was not to be added to the assessment.3. The final issue involved the inclusion of interest received by the assessee's wife from various banks in the assessment. The ITAT supported the AAC's decision to delete the interest amount, as there was no justification for including it in the assessee's income. Consequently, the Department's appeal was dismissed, and the assessee's appeal was allowed, affirming the decisions made regarding the treatment of deposits and interest in the assessment.
