Land and other advances represent application or outflow of funds rather than an unrecorded income inflow, and deeming provisions for unexplained investments cannot be automatically applied to this self-contained penal provision. Uncorroborated diary notings without verifiable particulars cannot independently prove real transactions or undisclosed income.
