The Tribunal vide its order dated 15.03.2018, restored the matter back to the file of the A.O. with following observations:- "I have considered the rival submissions. I find that only dispute is regarding explanation of assessee in respect of source of cash deposit of Rs. 20.80 lakh on 03.11.2012 in ICICI Bank. The finding of CIT(A) is this that the assessee has made an attempt to reconcile the cash withdrawals and cash deposits but could not do it. But there is no comment about this document which is available on page no.10 of the paper book which is a certificate of CA and as per the certificate given by the assessee in the paper book, this document was also made available before the AO and CIT(A) both.
