The Tribunal partly allowed the appeal for AY 2007-08, deleting an addition of Rs. 30,000 out of Rs. 68,891 related to unexplained cash deposits, as the AO had accepted part of the explanation. The remaining additions and grounds were dismissed.

The Tribunal held that Section 54F(4) of the Act mandates that the deposit in the capital gains account scheme must be made on or before the due date specified under Section 139(1). Since the deposit was made belatedly, the assessee was not eligible for the exemption.
