Presumptive taxation: where an assessee opts to declare income under the presumptive scheme and offers income accordingly, separate additions for unexplained cash bank deposits cannot be sustained; the tribunal relied on precedent holding that opting into the presumptive regime removes the obligation to explain each cash entry, and directed deletion of the addition.
