The Tribunal held that since the assessee had explained the source of the cash as speculative business income, it could not be treated as undisclosed income under Section 69A. Consequently, Section 115BBE was not applicable.
The Tribunal found that while the assessee made an attempt to explain the cash deposits, there was an element of failure to explain some of the deposits. It directed a lump-sum addition of Rs 1 lakh. Regarding the levy of tax under Section 115BBE, the Tribunal, following a Madras High Court ruling, directed that the addition be taxed under normal provisions of tax, not under Section 115BBE, as the section was applicable from AY 2018-19.
The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's contention that they were given insufficient time to respond to notices. Therefore, the case was remitted back to the Assessing Officer for a fresh decision after providing adequate opportunity to be heard.

The Tribunal held that admitting additional evidence could render substantial justice. Therefore, the issue was restored to the Assessing Officer for de-novo assessment, with liberty to the assessee to produce documents.
The Tribunal held that CAM charges are governed by Section 194C, not Section 194I, of the Income Tax Act. The Co-ordinate Bench's decision in the assessee's own case on this issue was relied upon.
