Material evidence on unsecured loans must be considered before sustaining an addition for unexplained cash credits. The High Court noted that the Tribunal did not discuss the assessee's evidence on the lenders' source of funds, made no finding on the explanation of the source of source, and merely repeated the Assessing Officer's conclusions.
