Since the cash deposit of demonetization currency by the assessee is duly explained the addition made by the AO and confirmed by the CIT(A) is not sustainable. Identical issue was decided in case of DCIT vs. Anuya Jayant Mhaiskar [ 2022 (8) TMI 438 - ITAT MUMBAI] and Nemchand Vasanji Chheda [ 2021 (7) TMI 1412 - ITAT MUMBAI] wherein it is held that when sufficient unutilized funds in the books are available with the assessee no addition can be made.

..... grounds of appeal at the time of or before hearing 2. The assessee by filing an application sought to condone the delay of 04 days in filing the present appeal on the ground that she has received the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) on 14.03.2022 through email, however, inadvertently the said email was received in spam hence could not be attended on time.
