WhatsApp messages used to support an alleged cash transaction were held insufficient without corroboration, so the related addition was deleted. Additions based on a retracted search statement and a third-party statement were also unsustainable where the assessee sought copies of material and cross-examination, but no proper evidentiary foundation or independent enquiry was made. Income already returned and taxed in the spouse's hands could not be taxed again as the assessee's undisclosed income.
