ITAT affirmed the appellate findings and dismissed all grounds raised by the revenue. The Tribunal held that the addition for cash deposits during demonetisation could not be sustained because the revenue failed to controvert the finding that the assessee possessed sufficient cash on hand, and speculative inferences as to the source were impermissible.

With respect to interest deduction under section 24(b) on rental receipts, ITAT accepted CIT(A)'s allowance and reasoning that the return misdescribed the receipts, thereby dismissing the revenue's appeal.
