ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal regarding addition of gift received from daughter. The tribunal found that the assessee adequately proved the source of source, establishing that the daughter's husband possessed sufficient funds to gift money to the daughter, who subsequently gifted the same amount to the assessee. Bank statements and financial documents demonstrated the money trail across two transfer occasions. The tribunal concluded that creditworthiness was established to the extent of the gift amount received, making the Assessing Officer's addition unwarranted. The appeal succeeded on grounds of proper documentation of the gift transaction's legitimacy and source verification.
