    <title>Assessee&#039;s Section 69A Addition Deleted: Diary Entries Without Cash or Possession Insufficient to Prove Unaccounted Income</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93620</link>
    <description>ITAT allowed the appeal and deleted the addition under section 69A. The Tribunal held that entries in a diary seized from the company&#039;s premises, without recovery of cash or evidence of possession or ownership by the assessee, cannot sustain an addition as unaccounted income; mere notings in a third party&#039;s diary constituted insufficient evidentiary basis. One cheque item matched the books, but other alleged receipts were neither reflected in the assessee&#039;s nor the company&#039;s accounts and were recorded at the company&#039;s place; consequently, if any liability arises it pertains to the company, not the assessee, and section 69A could not be invoked against the assessee.</description>
