    <title>Business advances not unexplained cash credits; s.68 addition deleted, s.148 Explanation 2 procedure breach nullifies third-party documents</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=94902</link>
    <description>ITAT allowed the assessee&#039;s appeal. It held that the disputed amount received from a purchaser as advance against sale of two farmhouses, duly supported by executed and cancelled agreements seized during search and subjected to TDS u/s 194I, constituted genuine business advances and not unexplained cash credits u/s 68. The assessee established the investor&#039;s creditworthiness and the genuineness of the transaction; hence the s.68 addition was deleted. Further, additions based on documents seized from a third party were quashed as the AO failed to follow the mandatory procedure and obtain approval under Explanation 2 to s.148.</description>
