In this regard, the explanation offered by the assessee was that the land was purchased by him in joint name with wife and the investment made in the land to the extent of 50% was declared by him while the balance 50% was the investment made by his wife. The assessee, therefore was called upon by the AO to explain the source of balance investment in the hands of his wife and since the explanation offered by the assessee in this regard was found to be satisfactory by the AO only to the extent of Rs. 50,000/-, the balance amount of Rs. 3,03,433/- was added by him to the total income of the assessee as unexplained investment.
