Declaration under the Income Declaration Scheme was held void for failure to pay tax, surcharge and penalty within the statutory time, rendering the declaration deemed never made and making the undeclared amount chargeable in the previous year (FY 2016-17) under the deeming provision; because the assessee failed to satisfactorily explain the source, the AO's addition as unexplained investment was upheld.
