Concessional penalty for search-disclosed unreconciled jewellery applies where substantive disclosure conditions are met despite omission from origina...
ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee and deleted additions under ss. 69A, 69 and 69C. The Tribunal held that documentary evidence (including a VDIS certificate, notarised wills and stamped agreements) and family member statements satisfactorily explained jewellery seized during search; AO's treatment of specified jewellery as unexplained was unjustified. The Tribunal further found the house-construction addition to be based on mere presumption as contractor bills lacked proof of payment and the admitted settled amount recorded in books was supported by documents. Finally, household-expense addition based on a diary in the wife's handwriting was rebutted by recorded family withdrawals. ITAT set aside CIT(A)'s findings and directed the AO to delete the respective additions.
