That worthy CIT(A) has failed to appreciate that a sum of ₹ 1,00,000/- out of ₹ 5,26,000/- was received by the assessee in earlier years and not in A.Y.2005-06. 5. That worthy CIT(A), Amritsar has grossly erred in confirming an addition of ₹ 30,000/- on account of advance given by Sh. Jatinder Pal Singh which was surrendered by assessee in year 2007 during survey proceedings made by ACIT, Circle V, Amritsar. 6. That worthy CIT(A), Amritsar has grossly erred in confirming an addition of ₹ 7,00,000/- on account of advance given by Sh.

Therefore, addition of ₹ 3,26,000/- is made on this account of unexplained cash credit u/s 68 of the I.T. Act. 2.1. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the action of the Assessing Officer vide para 7 of his order. 2.2. The Ld. counsel for the assessee, Sh. Padam Bahl, CA argued that the assessee had produced the person who had confirmed the fact of giving advance to the assessee. The cash creditor had explained the sources of advance given to the assessee as his savings of 20 years and contribution of his sons. The partly acceptance of advance of ₹ 2,00,000/- is legally untenable since the statement of Sh. Gurcharan Singh has to be accepted in toto or to be rejected in toto. 2.3. The Ld. DR, Mr. Amrik Chand, relied upon the orders of both the authorities below. 3. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the facts of the case. There is no dispute to the fact that the cash creditor had been examined by the AO who had stated to have given the advance to the assessee. As regards the sources of the money available for giving advance to the assessee, the cash creditor was required to submit the details and the sources which we .....

The addition of ₹ 4,00,000/- is made to the taxable income on account of unexplained cash credit u/s 68 of the I.T. Act. 5. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the action of the Assessing Officer. 6. The Ld. counsel for the assessee, Sh. Padam Bahl, CA, argued that the said amount of ₹ 4 lacs was forfeited during the year ending 31st March, 2009 for which copy of Income Tax return was placed on record before the ld. CIT(A). It was argued before the ld. CIT(A) that the amount may be deleted to avoid double taxation or direct the AO to exclude the surrendered amount from the assessable income from the assessment year 2009-10. Before us, it as argued that it is double taxation and the addition may be deleted in the impugned year only to avoid double taxation. 7. The Ld. DR, on the other hand, relied upon the orders of both the authorities below. 8. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the facts of the case. As is evident from the order of the AO at page 2, the cash creditor had been issued summon u/s 131. In response to the same, a letter dated03.08.2007 was sent by the cash c .....

CIT(A) confirmed the action of the Assessing Officer. 10.2. It was argued by the ld. counsel for the assessee, Sh. Padam Bahl, CA as per copy of account of cash creditor ₹ 1 lac is the amount brought forward from the earlier year and therefore, cannot be treated as income under section 68 for the assessment year under consideration. In any case, the amount had been forfeited and credited during the assessment year 2009- 2010 and offered as income for which Income tax particulars were placed before the ld. CIT(A). It was argued before the ld. CIT(A) that there cannot be double taxation of the same income i.e. one in the impugned year and other during the assessment year 2009-2010 and therefore, argued before the ld. CIT(A) to delete the addition so made. 10.3. The Ld. counsel for the assessee argued before us that the said amount may be deleted, as submitted before the ld. CIT(A) to avoid double taxation. 10.4.

The assessee has placed audited accounts for the assessment year 2007-08, 2008-09 2009-10 at PB 28 to 41 but not the audited accounts for the impugned year or the preceding year. Since the assessee could not prove the cash credit of ₹ 5,26,660/- received in cash which has been claimed to have been deposited at ₹ 4,26,660/- in the impugned year and ₹ 1 lac pertaining to the preceding year. In the facts and circumstances and in the absence of any explanation in this regard, the ld. CIT(A) has rightly confirmed the action of the A.O. to treat the same as unexplained. 12. As regards the arguments of the ld. counsel for the assessee before the ld. CIT(A) and before us that there cannot be double taxation since ₹ 5,26,660/- has been credited as income during the assessment year 2009- 10. This argument of the ld. counsel for the assessee cannot be accepted in view of our findings hereinabove since the assessee had failed to submit any explanation of the amount found credited during the impugned year and therefore crediting the said amount in the assessment year 2009-2010 is nothing but to avoid taxes, interest and penal provisions whi .....

Therefore, the addition of ₹ 2,00,000/- is made to the taxable income on this account. 13.1. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the action of the Assessing Officer with respect to all the four creditors after considering the submissions of the ld. counsel for the assessee before him. 13.2. The Ld. counsel for the assessee, Mr. Padam Bahl, CA made the similar arguments as in the preceding grounds that the assessee has credited the amount of the said cash creditors in the assessment year 2007-08 or 2008-09 i.e. ₹ 30,000/- in respect of Sh. Jatinderpal Singh during the assessment year 2008-09, ₹ 7 lacs relating to Sh. Jasbir Singh during the assessment year 2007-08, ₹ 3 lacs in respect of Smt. Ritu during the assessment year 2008-09 and ₹ 2 lacs relating to Sh. Parshotam Lal during the assessment year 2008-09.
