....43(3) of the Act on 15-12-2017. The grounds taken by the Revenue are as under: 1. The order of the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) is erroneous on facts of the case and in law. 2. The Ld CIT(A) has made the decision on the basis of orders of ITAT and hon'ble High Court. Issue of Unexplained cash credit is a question of facts and can't be decided on the basis of the judicial precedences. 3. The CIT(A) has erred in accepting the Peak Balance Theory put forth by the assessee. 4. The CIT(A) has directed the AO to delete the additions and give an opportunity to the assessee.

....ments and no unaccounted investment whatsoever has been unearthed thereby establishing the claim of the assessee that the deposits are nothing but recycling of the withdrawals already made from the various bank accounts. There were regular deposits / withdrawals by cash as well as by cheques and therefore, all the transactions ought to be considered together and could not be treated as an independent item of undisclosed income and added severally and hence, to ignore withdrawals from the same account, whether by cash or by cheques shall lead to absurd conclusions. The assessee was liable to explain only the peak balance in the bank accounts for which the assessee relied on various decisions. 5. The Ld. CIT(A) noted that the A.O has sough....

The peak credit as mentioned in para 7.5 is explained by the peak cash balance available. I hold that no further addition is exigible and hence, the AO is directed to delete the addition after verifying the arithmetic correctness of the....
