A.R. pointed to the cash flow chart which is placed at page 33 of the paper book which was prepared by the Assessing Officer to determine the negative cash balance of ₹ 749,090/- on which the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) had upheld the addition. He submitted that aforesaid cash flow is not correct because assessee had also furnished a cash flow which is placed at pages 35 and 36 of the paper book before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and on which remand report from Assessing Officer was called for. He submitted that in the remand report Assessing Officer has not pointed as to why the cash flow chart furnished by the assessee is not correct.

During the course of assessment also the lender confirmed that the made gifts to his sons in his individual capacity and not to HUF. However since the cheque was deposited in the Bank account of the HUF, it cannot by any stretch of imagination be treated as gift to HUF.

On perusal of the submissions it is seen that the appellant has been offering different versions for ₹ 10,75,000/- received from Shri M C Jain.
