ITAT directed deletion of additions made under s.69A, holding that undocumented loose paper found at a third party's residence could not sustain an unexplained income addition against the assessee. The Tribunal found the AO's reliance on unsubstantiated inference from initials and an audio recording insufficient: the seized paper was undated and thus presumptively related to the year of search (FY 2020-21/AY 2021-22), not the assessment year to which the additions were made; no cash or corroborative documents were seized from the assessee; no enquiries were pursued concerning running bills; and the audio had no nexus to the assessee. Accordingly, additions based on the seized entries were deleted and grounds 1-3 were allowed.
