The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s determination that the unexplained credit amounting to Rs. 1,92,55,560/- was not entirely taxable as income under section 69A, given the assessee's failure to file a return for the relevant year and the nature of the business. The CIT(A) accepted additional evidence furnished under rule 46A and quantified income at 8% on turnover under section 44AD, rather than treating the entire credit as income. The AO failed to comment on the remand report and did not dispute the third-party affidavit evidence supporting the assessee's claim. Consequently, the tribunal found no merit in the revenue's grounds and allowed the assessee's appeal, confirming that income computation based on the affidavit and supporting evidence was appropriate.
