Issues:
The issues involved in this case are the addition of cash credit under section 68 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and the addition of an advance received. Addition of Cash Credit under Section 68: The assessee appealed against the addition of cash credit amounting to &8377; 11,93,250 out of a total of &8377; 13,97,500 made by the Assessing Officer. The CIT(A) confirmed the addition. The Assessing Officer required the assessee to explain the source of cash deposits made in a bank account. The CIT(A) accepted only 50% of a cash balance without providing justification. The Tribunal found no justification for this disallowance as the cash was deposited from available cash in hand. The Tribunal confirmed the addition of &8377; 1.3 lakhs as the assessee failed to provide evidence of the source. Addition of Advance Received: The Assessing Officer made an addition of &8377; 1,60,000 on account of an advance received, which was confirmed by the CIT(A). The Tribunal noted that confusion between self withdrawals and cash withdrawals by cheque led to the addition being confirmed. However, as there was no doubt about the source of funds, the matter was remanded back to the Assessing Officer for a fresh decision after providing an opportunity to the assessee. Loan from Shri G. S. Sharma: The Assessing Officer disallowed a loan of &8377; 1.60 lakhs from Shri G. S. Sharma due to the lack of confirmation. The CIT(A) upheld this decision. However, the Tribunal found that a DD was purchased by another individual at the instance of Shri G. S. Sharma, and the source of funds was from the bank account of that individual. As the purchase was confirmed, the absence of confirmation from Shri G. S. Sharma was not sufficient for the addition. The issue was remanded back to the Assessing Officer for further inquiry. In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the appeal in part, directing a fresh decision on certain aspects of the case.
