In the absence of details, the argument of assessee was not believable and therefore, addition was confirmed. 6. Ld. Counsel reiterated the submissions, whereas, learned D.R. pointed out that the contentions were unsubstantiated. There is no dispute that the amount belongs to assessee and was found in the course of survey. It was the contention of assessee that the sources are withdrawals from bank accounts and firm's accounts but no such evidence was furnished either before A.O. or before appellate authority.
