..... reason to interfere in the finding of Ld. CIT(A) and thus confirm the addition. Addition u/s 69A - unaccounted business receipt - no evidence of nexus between the cash withdrawals and redeposit in the bank account - HELD THAT:- We find that except certain withdrawals and deposits in round figures no other entries of day to day cash income/expenditure are appearing. It is not clear that the cash flow statement is only for the individual cash transactions or all the transactions carried out by the assessee during the year. Assessee has also failed to explain various entries appearing in the bank statement specially with regard to the amount withdrawn by Shri Surendra Saha and Shri Mukesh Sahu during the financial year 2009-10 which has been claimed as source of cash as opening balance We find that since the beginning of the assessment proceedings till now the explanation and submission made by the assessee lacks clarity and it is hard to reach a conclusion about the source of cash deposited. However we find that various submissions were filed by the assessee to explain the source but revenue authorities could not go deeper to bring the truth on record. Further Ld. A.O as well .....

There were repeated withdrawals during January, 2010 to May, 2010 and the assessee continued to accumulate cash till she deposited ₹ 35,00,000/- in bank account in October, 2010. During the assessment appellant claimed to have made payment to Shri Mahesh Sahu and Surendra Sahu but failed to furnish any evidence of nexus between the cash withdrawals and redeposit in the bank account. 18. So far as assessee s contention that there is no legal hurdle in keeping idle cash in hand, we find merit but surrounding circumstances also needs to support the contention of keeping idle cash. Now in the case of the assessee admittedly no books of accounts are maintained. Her source of income includes income from House Property and income from restaurant. As there were no details filed about the type of business but prime facie it seems that the assessee is carrying out the business and offering income on presumptive basis, liable to be taxed u/s 44AF/44AD of the Act. 19.
