However, during the remand proceedings by the Ld. DRP, the Assessing Officer observed that interest amounting to Rs. 1,68,404/- was credited in said bank account and therefore, the Ld. DRP directed the Assessing Officer to tax the interest income from DBS Bank at Rs. 1,68,404/- as against Rs. 70,200/- declared by the assessee . Accordingly in the final assessment order, the Assessing Officer made addition for the difference amount of Rs. 98,204/-. 4.1 Before us, the Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that assessee is following mercantile system of accounting and declared interest income from DBS account as and when it was due to the assessee. He submitted that interest of Rs. 1,04,468.13 was credited by the assessee in the assessment year 2014-15 but said amount was received in the year under consideration.

..... the year under consideration i.e. 2015-16. which belongs to the earlier year i.e. A. Y 2014-15 and on which due tax has been deduced by the banker in earlier year also." 4.2 The Ld. DR on the other hand relied on the order of the lower authorities. 4.3 We have heard rival submission of the parties on the issue in dispute and perused relevant material on record. The dispute is in respect of interest amount which is appearing in the bank statement as credited on 01.04.2014 but not included by the assessee under the head 'income from other sources'. The contention of the assessee are that said interest amount was already included by the assessee in the return of income filed for immediately proceedings assessment year i.e. assessment year 2014-15 following the mercantile system of accounting as the said interest was credited by the bank in relevant assessment year and accordingly deducted the TDS and said amount was appearing in the 26AS statement for the assessment year 2014-15. In view of the above submission, we feel it appropriate to restore this matter back to the file for the Assessing Officer for verification of the claim of the assessee and if same is found to be correct, .....

..... nts made of Rs. 30,00,000/- each in BNP Paribas MF on 30.04.2014 and Franklin Templeton M.F on 05.05.2014. At the time of making submission before the AO only one source of Rs. 30,00,000/- could be found and it was unclear whether it was for Franklin Templeton investment or BNP Paribas investment. So, the AO assume that the source was explained for BP Paribas and not for the Franklin Templeton so he has added as unexplained investments for Franklin Templeton MF. b. Now the assessee could find MF statement of Franklin Templeton MF which is appearing on page 37 of paper book where you will find that investment was made on 05.05.2014 and on the detail appearing above statement the advisor code and name of DBS bank is appearing. c.
