..... on. Addition as undisclosed investment in purchase of immovable property U/s 69 - Held that:- We observe that in the earlier pleadings that the ld. AR had submitted that the assessee was having only agricultural income but while explaining the opening cash balance, the ld AR of the assessee has admitted that the assessee was also having dairy business. There is no evidence available on record, which establishes that the assessee was having any other income than agricultural income. In view of all, we direct to accept the source from agricultural income to the tune of ₹ 2.00 lacs only and the balance amount of ₹ 2,94,290/- remains unexplained, hence addition to that extent is sustained. Hence, ground No. 2 of the appeal is partly allowed. Addition made to Mr. Ankush treating it as advance made from undisclosed sources - Addition treating agriculture income as undisclosed income - Held that:- We find that the assessee has taken the income out of business of ₹ 3,58,662/- as source to explain the advance to Shri Ankush. The agricultural income declared was ₹ 7.80 lacs, for which the separate addition has been also made by the Assessing Officer. Thus, the a .....

The amount was received in two installments i.e. ₹ 15.00 lacs on 29/03/2011 and ₹ 15.00 lacs on 05/04/2011. The assessee has disclosed the cash in hand of ₹ 4,94,290/-. The source of ₹ 30.00 lacs was out of the amount received from Smt. Prem Bai and balance of ₹ 4,94,290/- out of the cash in hand. The assessee has submitted the confirmation from Smt. Prem Bai. The ledger account of Maya Devi (assessee) in the books of Smt. Prem Devi was also submitted for the F.Y. 2010-11 and 2011-12.

..... 77; 30.00 lacs has confirmed the same in her statement recorded during the remand proceedings. She has also disclosed the source from where the amount she has received the amount. She has also disclosed the source of the amount being compensation received from RIICO. She has also submitted her income tax details and books of account where in the amount is duly reflected. The ld. CIT(A) has simply dismissed the claim of the assessee regarding the genuineness of the transaction of ₹ 30.00 lacs from Prem Bai for the reason that if the amount has been repaid then also the source remains unexplained. As mentioned earlier, this amount was returned in the subsequent year not during the year under consideration, therefore such observation of the ld. CIT(A) is unjustified. Considering all these relevant facts relevant for the financial year under consideration, we find that the ld. CIT(A) was not justified in sustaining the addition to the tune of ₹ 30.00 lacs received from Smt. Prem Devi. Hence we direct to delete the same. 12. Further the balance amount of ₹ 4,94,290/-, for which he has submitted that it was out of the opening cash balance of ₹ 5,02,500/-,. The .....
