Whether addition under s.69 for alleged cash "on-money" paid for purchase of a shop could be sustained merely on statements recorded during search and an Excel sheet found in a third party's pen drive. The material on record, including allotment letter and bank statements, showed no evidence of any cash payment in AYs 2017-18 and 2018-19 and indicated that the purchase transaction occurred only in AY 2019-20; hence the s.69 additions for AYs 2017-18 and 2018-19 were deleted. For AY 2019-20, the statements and Excel sheet were held uncorroborated by independent evidence, consistent with co-ordinate bench precedents; hence the s.69 addition was deleted and the appeals were allowed - ITAT
