The provisions of section 2(22)(e) in such circumstances, are obviously attracted. The assessee had tried to make out a case before the authorities that the said amount of 10,00,000 was received as advance or an imprest. CIT(A) has elaborately dealt with such contentions by giving dates on which small amounts of imprest were received by the assessee. Salary received by the assessee from the company is different from such amount of 10,00,000 received by the assessee. In fact, the assessee categorically admitted before the ADIT (Inv.) that the amount of 10,00,000 received by him was subsequently repaid.

Ground No.2 is against the AO not providing a copy of reasons to believe to the assessee. In this regard, it is observed from page 1 para 1 of the assessment order that notice u/s 148 of the Act was issued on 10-03-2014, which was served upon the assessee.
