..... 016 from the bank account Number 623901253345 maintained with ICICI Bank. The Ld. AR demonstrated the withdrawals by filing the bank statements which is available in paper book at page no. 10. On perusal of the bank statements, it is noticed that the assessee has withdrawn cash after redeeming mutual fund investments.

We are therefore of the considered view that assessee has properly explained the sources of cash with respect to the withdrawals made by the assessee during July 2016 aggregating to Rs. 15,00,000/- and hence we consider amount of Rs. 15,00,000/- as properly explained by the assessee.
