The assessee has raised ground No.8 in regard to the partial disallowance of Rs.10,34,24, 550/- under the head of other expenses as noted by the CIT(A) in his order at para No.6.12. During remand proceedings, the assessee has submitted complete evidences for disallowance of Rs.25,19,88,546/- vide letter dated 20.03.2019 during the course of remand proceedings, whereas the said facts were not brought out in the remand report.

The order issue in A.Y 2000-01 is addition made by the Assessing Officer of Rs. 10,09,000/= on account of unsecured loan. In this regard, we find that out of these loan of this amount, only Rs. 50,000/= was received in the present year and the balance is on account of opening balance. Hence, only this amount of Rs. 50,000/= can be considered for addition under Section 68 in this year. We, therefore, delete the balance addition. Now on account of the loan of Rs. 50,000/= received by the assessee in the present year, we feel that although the assessee could not properly explain the same but the assessee deserves the benefit of telescoping against the addition in the income made by the Assessing Officer, which is confirmed by us. As against a loss of Rs. 1,22,100/= declared by the assessee in the ROI, income assessed by the A.O is Rs. 36,506/= which means that total addition made by the A.O which is confirmed by us also is Rs. 1,58,606/= whereas the fresh loan is only Rs. 50,000/= only. Hence, this addition, of Rs 50 000/= is also deleted Ground No. 3 is allowed. Ground No. 1 was not pressed and hence, reject ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
