Assessment u/s 153C - undisclosed receipts as allegedly received by the assessee - reliance on the statement of persons (from whose possession the material was seized) - The Tribunal agreed with the CIT(A) that the seized material did not directly link the assessee to the undocumented income without corroborative evidence. It emphasized the need for corroborative evidence to attribute the entries in the seized documents to the assessee and noted the lack thereof. - The Tribunal acknowledged the importance of sworn statements under section 132(4) but also recognized the significant impact of their retraction, especially when the retraction claims coercion or pressure. It concurred that statements retracted should not be solely relied upon without corroborative evidence.
