Facts

The assessee, Kaladhar Vana Purna Chandra Kadi, made cash deposits of Rs. 2,29,000/- into a bank account during A.Y. 2019-20. The assessee claimed these deposits were from civil works and offered 8% income under Section 44AD, but the AO and CIT(A) treated the entire amount as unexplained cash deposits under Section 69A.

Held

The ITAT noted that the assessee submitted fresh evidence (confirmation letters) for the first time, which had not been examined by the lower authorities. Given that the genuineness of transactions and identity of parties were unverified, the Bench decided to remit the issue back to the Assessing Officer for fresh examination after providing an opportunity to the assessee.

Key Issues

Whether cash deposits in the bank account were unexplained under Section 69A or income from civil works covered under Section 44AD, and the admissibility and examination of fresh evidence submitted before the ITAT.
