The ITAT held that once the source of cash is taxed, it cannot be further taxed as unexplained cash expenditure in the hands of the assessee company. The assessee had furnished details regarding the source of cash expenditures which were accepted by the Interim Board for Settlement. The addition made u/s 69C for cash payments treated as unexplained expenditure by the Assessing Officer was deleted, as it would amount to double taxation, since the cash income was already offered to tax in the hands of the Director. The issue was decided in favour of the assessee.
