Cash returned by builders from property payments made through banking channels constitutes circulation of explained funds, not unexplained money, unless evidence establishes a separate unexplained asset or accretion; the related addition was deleted. Alleged cash interest from builder financing was unsustainable where disclosed property investments, rent and capital gains supported appreciation rather than separate interest; that addition was deleted. Acquisition below stamp-duty value can attract section 56(2)(x)(b) irrespective of a transaction's builder-financing character, but disputed values require fair-market-value determination before taxability is decided; the issue was remanded. Set-off of brought-forward long-term capital loss was also remanded for verification of eligibility and the character of current-year capital gains.
