Addition u/s 69B - Cash transactions in the seized documents during a search operation - cash against sale of flat - When no material has been found that assessee has made any booking for the flat, a mere entry in a pen drive of a third party cannot ipso facto fasten the liability of on money transaction upon the assessee without further corroborative material brought on record. As a matter of fact as noted by the learned CIT(A) the other materials further support the view that the addition in the hands of the assessee is not sustainable in as much as there was a booking of flat by the assessee’s wife with the same developer which was duly cancelled and booking was refunded prior to the entry of on money cash transaction. - AT
