Section 69C was held inapplicable to an ad hoc disallowance of salary and wages recorded in the books, because the "source of such expenditure" stood explained from the regular books and the AO neither alleged out-of-books payments nor an unproved source; at most, the issue concerned allowability under section 37(1) on the ground of alleged excessiveness, so section 69C (and consequential taxation under section 115BBE) could not be invoked, resulting in deletion of the section 69C-based addition.
