....India. 4. Deleting the addition u/s 69 of Rs. 11,19,980/- on account of transaction with the Indian Bank Loan account. 4 (i) While deleting the addition of Rs. 11,19,980/- the Ld. CIT(A} erred in banking upon additional evidence in form of additional loan account No. 727971104 and saving bank account No. 724715643 and admitting the same in violation of Rule 46A of I. T. Rules. 5. Violation the Rule 46A of I. T. Rules that assessee has admitted the additional evidence regarding the additional loan account No. 727971104 and saving bank account No. 724715643 of Indian Bank before the Ld. CIT(A}~ but the remand report was not called for by the Ld. CIT(A). 3. Rival contentions have been considered and records perused. During the course of scrutiny of assessment, the Assessing Officer has made addition of Rs. 69,000/- u/s 69 on the plea that the assessee was not having sufficient cash for making the fixed deposit. By the impugned order, the ld. CIT (A) deleted the addition after having the following observations :- "4.3 I have considered the A.O's order as well as the appellant's submission extracted as abo....

.... and miscellaneous items at Rs. 18,000/-) instead of Rs. 1,00,000/- as noted by the A.O. However considering the A.O.'s order as well as the appellant's submission, I do not find any justification neither in argument of the appellant by valuing the cost of land from registered valuer. Thus, in my considered view the appellant's request cannot be acceded too. It is also seen that the appellant has claimed the exemption u/s 54 as the appellant has sold a house and a consideration was split into the land price and the sale of super structure (Malba) and accordingly has sold a house, whereas the A.O. has only considered the consideration of land and ignored the sale of super structure. The A.O. since considered the sale of land has considered the claim of the appellant of exemption u/s 54F, whereas looking to the facts of the case, the claim of exemption made by the appellant u/s 54 appears to be correct, I find that the appellant has invested a sum of Rs. 11,10,337/- out of the sale proceeds towards the purchase of house at Rani Baug, Indore for a consideration of Rs. 60.20 Lacs in the name of his wife. The appellant has claimed the utilization of sale ....

....was obtained for purchase of shop, wherein the wife of the appellant is regularly carrying on business in the name of Anand Shree Fruits Juice. In this regard, the appellant has also filed the copy of food license of the Indore, Municipal Corporation. It is also evident that the payments in the loan account have been made by the wife of the appellant and there is no connection with the appellant in this respect. Further it is evident that during the course of assessment proceedings, the A.O. did not asked any explanation from the appellant in this regard after obtaining the copy of account from the bank. I also find that the wife of the appellant is regularly filing return of income reflecting the income from the shop as well as agricultural income and out of which the payment in the loan account has been made. In view of the same, I consider it proper and appropriate to hold that Assessing Officer was not justified in making the aforesaid addition to the income of the appellant. Accordingly, the addition so made by the Assessing Officer is deleted. Thus, this ground of appeal is allowed." 9. We have considered the rival contentions and found that the loan was obtained for purch....

On perusal of all these three accounts it clearly shows that the d....
