Since the AO did not find fault in the capital account submitted by the assessee for this year, in our view, the same is required to be accepted. Accordingly, we set aside the order passed by the CIT(A) in AY. 2011-12 and direct the AO to accept the income returned by the assessee and also the capital account filed for that year. Addition u/s 68 - AO did not reopen the assessments of AYs. 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2015-16. In the capital account relating to AY. 2014-15, the assessee has shown receipt of gift from her elder son.

All these three appeals were heard together and are being disposed of by this common order, for the sake of convenience. 2. The assessee is an individual. The Revenue received information that the assessee has deposited cash of around Rs. 30.00 lakhs in a joint bank accounts along with his sons in DCB Bank Ltd., Mira Road Branch. Hence the AO reopened the assessments of AYs. 2011-12, 2015-16 and 2016-17 by issuing notices u/s. 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ( the Act ). In respo .....

The Ld.CIT(A) pointed out that the assessee had shown cash gift of Rs. 3.00 lakhs from her son in Financial Year 2013-14 (relevant to AY. 2014-15), but the capacity to gift the above said amount was not proved. The Ld.CIT(A) peculiarly expressed the view that the cash deposits made into the bank account have not been reduced from the Capital Account and hence the same is not reliable.

In the capital account relating to AY. 2014-15, the assessee has shown receipt of gift of Rs. 3.00 lakhs from her elder son. The Ld.CIT(A) has referred to the same and has disbelieved the same.
