30/01/2025. Relevant portion of the order of the learned CIT(A) is reproduced as under:

(C)
At the time of hearing, learned Departmental Representative relied on order of learned CIT(A). As can be readily seen, the learned CIT(A) deleted
50% of the aforesaid addition of Rs.10,70,000/- and sustained the remaining 50% amounting to Rs.5,35,050/-. The learned CIT(A) has accepted the assessee’s explanation that the assessee, an ex-service man, was not a well placed person economically and it is quite probable that he borrowed money for emergency i.e. for the treatment of illness of his father.
However, in a summary and ad hoc manner, without explaining any reason for this, the learned CIT(A) has sustained the 50% of the amount claimed by the assessee to have been received as loan for meeting emergency expenses towards treatment of his father suffering from illness. The amount of Rs.10,70,100/- claimed by the assessee to have been received for treatment of his father suffering from illness is not unreasonably high or excessive amount having regard to the cost of medical treatment in the present day, specially having regard to the circumstances of the assessee.

Therefore, the Assessing Officer is directed to delete the addition of Rs.5,35,050/-, which the learned CIT(A) had sustained in his impugned appellate order. In effect the Assessing Officer is directed to delete the entire amount of addition of Rs.10,70,100/-.

(D)
In the result, the appeal of the assessee stands allowed.
