..... he evidences gathered from the loose papers seized at the premises of M/s. Matrix India Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. and hence cannot be brushed aside merely by relying on the order of another CIT(A). 5. Whether on the facts, in the circumstances of the case and as per law, the Ld. CIT(A) erred in giving relief to the assessee and deleting the addition of ₹ 1 crore as undisclosed income merely by relying on the order of another CIT(A) without appreciating that when the cheque receipt as reflected in the digital evidence unearthed from the mobile back-up of Miss Sandhya Ramchandran matches that of the income shown by the assessee from the performance at Dhaka, the cash receipts reflected in the same digital evidence for the same performance should have necessarily been included in the Total income of the assessee . 6.

In the above background, it was submitted that the amount of ₹ 1 Crore in cash and ₹ 75 Lacs in cheque, as mentioned in the loose papers found at the premises of M/s Matrix was a mere proposal which never materialized. Such an offer was stated to be made by a person claiming to be an organizer for a show to be held in Dhaka on 11/01/2011 but neither Salman Khan nor Katrina Kaif performed at any such show. The only show which the duo preformed in Dhaka was held on 24/02/2011 and that too with ATN records.

CIT(A)-47, Mumbai vide her order No. CIT(A)-36/AP.274/2014-15 dated 20.03.2015. I conquer with the finding of the Ld.

The copy of the relevant order of the Tribunal has been placed on record. 5. We have carefully heard the rival submissions and perused relevant material on record. The position that emerges is that the assessee has been saddled with additions of ₹ 1 Crore as undisclosed income during the reassessment proceedings. The basis of the addition was a loose paper found during survey operations on the premises of M/s Matrix Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. Upon perusal of the said paper, it was alleged by the revenue that the assessee was in receipt of a sum of ₹ 1 Crore to perform a certain shown in Dhaka.
