Reliance on sworn statement u/s 132(4) of Income Tax Act permissible even in proceedings under 1988 Act, not just for prosecution. Revenue proceedings differ from criminal proceedings, no necessity to follow CrPC or Evidence Act. Initiating Officer considered issues raised before Adjudicating Authority. Appellant's argument of chit funds from disclosed sources rejected, admission of operation at instance of third party.

Appellant's income above taxable limit, no ITR filed. Each aspect considered by Adjudicating Authority, lame excuses rejected. No error found, appeals dismissed.
