ITAT allowed taxpayer's appeal, finding cash payments for land purchase were genuine business transactions. The tribunal determined payments were made out of commercial necessity and complied with Rule 6DD exceptions. Cash deposits during demonetization were substantiated through assessee's cash book, which demonstrated advances against land/plot purchases. The appellate tribunal set aside the lower authority's order, directing the AO to delete the tax addition, effectively vindicating the taxpayer's accounting practices and validating the cash transactions as legitimate business expenditures.
