Addition based on undisclosed income allegedly admitted during survey u/s 133A was deleted because the Revenue produced no substantive corroborative evidence, and a survey statement, particularly when promptly retracted and alleged to be obtained under coercion, lacks evidentiary value; reliance was placed on binding precedent holding that no addition can rest solely on such statement, supported by CBDT instructions to rely on material evidence, resulting in dismissal of the Revenue's ground.
