..... ccount by giving narration as Agricultural income . However in the return of income, net agricultural income was shown only at ₹ 15,000. As the assessee could not submit any explanation about the source of the remaining amount of ₹ 19,000, the Assessing Officer made addition for the said sum. However, the claim regarding of agricultural income of ₹ 15,000 was accepted by including such amount in the total income only for rate purposes. The learned CIT(A) upheld the addition at ₹ 34,000. 3. Having heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record it is observed that the assessee failed to lead any evidence regarding the remaining amount of ₹ 19,000 credited to his capital account.

..... the Assessing Officer was quite reasonable in making addition of ₹ 2 lakh towards insufficient household withdrawals, which has been rightly sustained in the first appeal. This ground is not allowed. 6. Ground no.3 is against the confirmation of addition of ₹ 5,00,000. The facts of this ground are that the assessee deposited a sum of ₹ 5 lakh in his bank account by cash on 27.06.1996.

In the present case the assessee s contention about the redeposit of sum of ₹ 5 lakh at a gap of around three months has remained uncontroverted by the Assessing Officer.
