Facts
The assessee's appeal against additions made by the AO for Assessment Year 2013-14 was heard by the ITAT. The AO had made additions for unexplained cash deposits (Rs. 14,93,000/-), undeclared rental income (Rs. 85,512/-), and unexplained bank credits (Rs. 6,81,000/-, later contested as Rs. 14,20,000/-). These additions were largely upheld by the CIT(A). The ITAT first condoned a 208-day delay in filing the appeal.
Held
The Tribunal dismissed the assessee's appeal, upholding the additions. It found that the assessee failed to provide cogent documentary evidence to substantiate the sources of the Rs. 14,93,000/- cash deposits, the Rs. 85,512/- rental income, and the Rs. 4,20,000/- bank credits, thereby confirming the orders of the lower authorities.
Key Issues
Whether additions for unexplained cash deposits, undeclared rental income, and unexplained bank credits were justified due to lack of sufficient evidence from the assessee.
