....ome Tax Act, 1961 which is bad in law in as much as the assessment has been framed without issuing notice u/s 143(2) and also no Return having been filed in response to notice issued u/s 148. The assessment is thus bad in law and deserves to be quashed. 3. That the Learned Commissioner Of Income Tax (Appeals) is unjustified in upholding the addition of Rs.1,68,500/- on account of treating the unsecured loan as deemed income of the assessee u/s 68 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This addition made is illegal and uncalled for which deserves to be deleted. 4. Any other ground which may be taken with the permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal at the time of hearing. 3. The ground No. 1 raised by the assessee is general in nature and hence, the same is dismissed. 4. The ground No. 2 raised by the assessee is not pressed and hence the same is also dismissed. 5.

AR for the assessee pointed out that the loan received from the mother of the assessee was through banking channels and the same merits to be accepted. 9. The ld. DR for the revenue placed reliance on the order of the CIT(Appeals). 10. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the record. The onus is upon the assessee to explain each and every credit entry in the bank account or books of account and where the assessee is unable to prove the same, provisions of section 68 are attracted. It is for the assessee to establish the identity and credit worthiness of the creditor in order to prove the genuineness of the transactions. The assessee in the present set of facts may have established the identity of the creditor but has miserably failed to establish the credit worthiness of the persons who had made the said cash advances to the assessee. ....

The explanation of the assessee was that the overall difference in valuation of the property was less than 10% and therefore, the same should be ignored. Further, it was explained by the assessee that the Valuation Officer had applied CPWD rates whereas the State PWD rates should have been applied. The Assessing Officer, rejecting the explanation of the assessee made an addition of Rs. 2,65,082/-. 16. The CIT(Appeals) upheld the said addition. 17. The ld. AR for the assessee referred to the valuation report of the DVO placed at pages 25 to 34 of the Paper Book and pointed out that the estimation of valuation of cost of construction made by the DVO was for the period upto 31.3.2007 whereas the inspection of the property was carried out on 25.10.2007.

AR for the assessee pointed out that the said accounts were received vide cheques which in turn were out of the loan account raised by the assessee from State Bank of Patiala. The assessee claims that it had raised home loan and out of that home loan, the said sum of Rs. 40,000/- was withdrawn whereas the other addition of Rs. 52,000/- was cash received against cheques. 24. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the record. We find no merit in the plea of the assessee in the absence of complete evidence having been produced by the assessee. The assessee had raised home loan which admittedly is for the purpose of investment in the home and mere withdrawal from the ....
