    <title>Assessments under s.68 and s.40A(3): Recorded cash sales and VAT corroboration upheld; some unexplained cash purchases disallowed</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=91961</link>
    <description>ITAT upheld the CIT(A)&#039;s deletion of additions under s.68, holding that cash deposits asserted to be cash sales and cash advances were recorded in the assessee&#039;s regular books, not rejected by the AO, and corroborated by VAT returns; absent independent, corroborative evidence, the AO&#039;s disbelief based on the volume of invoices was conjectural and insufficient to convert recorded receipts into unexplained cash credits. The Tribunal also affirmed the CIT(A)&#039;s partial deletion of additions under s.40A(3): cash payments for gold purchases made on a Sunday (holiday) were accepted on the facts, while unexplained cash purchases on non-holidays remained disallowed. Revenue&#039;s appeals were dismissed.</description>
