ITAT upheld deletion of additions under s.10(3) of the BMA and associated penalties under ss.41/43, holding that contemporaneous documents and the assessee's un-retracted s.132(4) statement, corroborated by a third party's affidavit, balance sheets and correspondence found during search, established that credits in foreign entities' bank accounts were withdrawn solely by the third party and not by the assessee.
