Section 68 places the initial burden on an assessee to establish, through cogent evidence, each loan creditor's identity, financial capacity and the genuineness of the transaction. Unsecured loans may be treated as unexplained cash credits where creditors deny making advances or cannot explain the source of the funds advanced, demonstrating that their creditworthiness has not been established. Failure to discharge this burden supports an addition for unexplained cash credits.
