Assessment jurisdiction under search provisions cannot be assumed for unabated years based on third-party digital chats; the third-party WhatsApp material was unrelated, post-facto and not incriminating, consequently the addition was deleted. The revenue bears the onus to prove unrecorded consideration, and reliance on uncorroborated digital chats or 'dumb documents' is impermissible, so the on-money addition failed on merits.
