ITAT upheld AO's jurisdiction to examine undisclosed share transaction investments under limited scrutiny assessment. AO's examination of unsecured loans was deemed valid as investments were funded through loans, necessitating verification of creditors' genuineness and creditworthiness. Regarding Rs. 21 lakhs loan from spouse secured against property, ITAT remanded matter to AO for detailed verification of loan creditors and documentation.
