- Facts: The assessee accepted loans from Shri S.K. Bhandari but failed to provide evidence of the creditor's identity, genuineness, and creditworthiness.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal upheld the addition made by the AO, confirming that the assessee failed to establish the genuineness of the loan. The appeals on this ground were dismissed for all relevant years.

2. Estimated Interest on Loan:
- Assessment Year: 1980-81.
- Facts: The AO added ?4,800 as estimated interest on the loan from Shri S.K. Bhandari.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal found no evidence of interest payment during the search and deleted the addition, setting aside the orders of the lower authorities. This ground of appeal was allowed.

3. Addition based on Seized Books of Accounts:
- Assessment Years: 1980-81, 1982-83, 1983-84, 1984-85.
- Facts: Additions were made based on note books seized during the search, which indicated unexplained advances and estimated interest.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal held that the presumption under Section 132(4A) could not be applied to the assessee as the search was conducted at her son's premises. The additions were deleted, and the appeals on this ground were allowed.

4. Credit in Bank of Rajasthan:
- Assessment Year: 1980-81.
- Facts: An undisclosed bank account with a peak credit of ?10,000 was found.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal upheld the addition of ?10,000 but deleted the interest addition due to lack of evidence. The appeal was partly allowed.

5. Cash Credits:
- Assessment Years: 1982-83, 1983-84.
- Facts: The AO added ?1,50,000 (1982-83) and ?4,58,500 (1983-84) as unexplained cash credits.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal confirmed the addition due to the assessee's failure to provide evidence of the creditors' identity, genuineness, and creditworthiness. The appeals on this ground were dismissed.

6. Addition of Cash Received from M/s. Balaji Plastics & Metals Enterprises:
- Assessment Year: 1982-83.
- Facts: The AO added ?10,000 as unexplained cash credit after the said party denied any transaction with the assessee.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal upheld the addition due to the assessee's failure to prove the genuineness of the transaction. The appeal on this ground was dismissed.

7. Interest on Advances:
- Assessment Year: 1983-84.
- Facts: The AO added ?15,000 as interest on advances.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal deleted the addition due to lack of evidence of interest payment. The appeal on this ground was allowed.

8. Repayment of Loans:
- Assessment Year: 1984-85.
- Facts: The AO added ?1,68,400 as unexplained income, claiming the assessee introduced unaccounted money as loan repayments.
- Tribunal's Decision: The Tribunal upheld the addition due to the assessee's failure to provide evidence of actual loan repayments. The appeal on this ground was dismissed.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal's decisions varied based on the evidence provided or lack thereof. Additions were upheld where the assessee failed to substantiate claims, while some additions were deleted due to lack of evidence or improper application of legal presumptions. The appeals were partly allowed based on the merits of each issue.
