ITAT allowed the appeal and deleted the addition made under section 69A regarding cash deposits in Specified Bank Notes during demonetization period. The assessee, proprietor of petroleum products business, deposited cash from 24.11.2016 to 30.12.2016. ITAT held that despite regulatory ambiguity during demonetization transition period until 31.12.2016, the source explanation for cash deposits cannot be rejected merely because assessee accepted SBNs in technical violation of government notifications, particularly when the AO did not dispute that assessee made unaccounted cash deposits. Following precedent in Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Ltd., ITAT concluded that addition under section 69A was unjustified and set aside CIT(A)'s order confirming the assessment.
