Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
AO made addition u/s 69A treating assessee's cash deposits during demonetization period as unexplained income on assumption of inflated/bogus sales without any cogent evidence. ITAT allowed assessee's appeal holding that AO cannot calculate sales hypothetically ignoring VAT returns, purchase bills, quantitative details etc. once sales were accepted and no deficiency pointed out in books of account. Mere substantial increase in turnover during demonetization without evidence of bogus sales is insufficient for addition.
