2016 (4) TMI 165 - AT - Income TaxAdditions u/s. 68 - Held that - CIT(A) has rightly deleted the addition in dispute, because the assessee has furnished satisfactory explanation in regard to the nature and source of each and every deposit made in cash / by cheque in her aforesaid bank accounts. Therefore, we do not find any infirmity in the well reasoned order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) on the issue - Decided in favour of assessee
Issues:
1. Deletion of additions made by AO under section 68 of the Income Tax Act. 2. Admission of additional evidence during appellate proceedings without following Rule 46A. Analysis: 1. The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the order of Ld. CIT (Appeals) for the Assessment Year 2005-06, where additions of Rs. 57,10,566 were made by the AO under section 68 of the Income Tax Act. The Ld. CIT (Appeals) deleted the addition and allowed the Assessee's appeal. The Revenue contended that the Ld. CIT (Appeals) erred in deleting the additions. During the hearing, the Ld. DR argued that additional evidence was admitted without following Rule 46A. The Assessee's counsel argued that the additional evidence was submitted in compliance with the Ld. CIT (Appeals) request, thus not violating Rule 46A. The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's ground regarding the admission of additional evidence, citing that the provisions were not violated. 2. Regarding the deletion of the addition of Rs. 57,10,566, the Ld. CIT (Appeals) provided a detailed analysis in para nos. 6 to 6.9 of the impugned order. The Assessee furnished explanations and documentary evidence during the appellate proceedings, including bank statements, cash flow statements, and personal books of accounts. The CIT (Appeals) found the explanations satisfactory and deleted the addition. The Tribunal upheld the CIT (Appeals) decision, stating that the Assessee had adequately explained the nature and source of the deposits, thus dismissing the Revenue's appeal. The Tribunal concluded that the well-reasoned order of the Ld. CIT (Appeals) was upheld, and the appeal of the Revenue was dismissed on 01-03-2016.
