CIT-7, Ahmedabad passed an order u/s. 263 of the Act on 21.3.2016 with a direction to the AO to make a fresh assessment in view of the fact that at the time of assessment proceedings, cash deposits of Rs.25,72,920/- in the bank account of the appellant had not been verified and examined. Thereafter, as per the directions of the Pr.
