Without prejudice to the above, the authorities below have further erred in confirming the addition of Rs. 3,90,000/- whereas the credit entry in the books of account is only Rs. 3,59,031/-. 4. That the facts mentioned by the AI as well as authorities below are not correct as the entries are duly confirmed from the petitioner's father bank account." 2. The assessee has raised four grounds of appeal. However, the effective ground is whether the ld CIT(A) has erred in confirming the addition of Rs. 3.90 lacs as undisclosed income and not accepting the fact that the said amount was gifted to the assessee by her father. 3. .....

Lodha went to the bank with a cheque in his own name, withdrawn cash of Rs. 3.90 lacs, brought it home and then gifted it to his daughter. No gift deed was executed at that time. Then after 15 days, out of the gift so received, the assessee carried the cash of Rs. 3,59,031/- to the bank and deposited in two separate accounts in odd figures of Rs. 59,766/- and Rs. 2,99,265/-. The ld Assessing Officer further noted that Shri P.M. Lodha is having capital of more than Rs. 5.50 crores as on 31/3/2011.

The ld CIT(A) noted that there was cash withdrawal of Rs. 3.90 lacs on 10/07/2008 whereas the appellant deposited cash in the bank account on 25/7/2008.

The correct factual position as appearing from the record is that the amount was withdrawn on 10th July, 2008 and on the same date, the money was gifted to the appellant and thereafter the appellant after spending a part of amount, deposited remaining amount of Rs. 3,59,031/- in her and her son's bank accounts. As regards, non appearance of the donor Shri P.M. Lodha before the Assessing Officer, it was submitted that the donor Shri P.M. Lodha is over 85 years of age and because of his age he could not appear before the Assessing Officer.
