2019 (11) TMI 1630 - AT - Income Tax


Issues:
Appeal against addition of cash deposit in bank account.

Analysis:
1. The assessee appealed against the addition of a cash deposit of ?25,00,000 made by the Assessing Officer. The case was selected for scrutiny assessment based on information received, revealing cash deposits in the assessee's bank account.

2. The assessee denied making the deposits, attributing them to mistakes by bank officials. The bank asked for cheques to reverse the entries, claiming no physical cash movement occurred. However, the Assessing Officer was not convinced and added the amount to the assessee's income.

3. The First Appellate Authority considered the bank's cash deposit slips and the remand report. The assessee explained that the bank helped create a book entry to show a higher balance for a university admission requirement. The Authority found no merit in the explanations and upheld the addition.

4. The Tribunal analyzed the genuineness of the cash deposit. The assessee failed to provide satisfactory explanations or evidence to prove the transactions' legitimacy. The bank's documents clearly showed the cash deposits and withdrawals, contradicting the assessee's claims.

5. Section 68 of the Act places the onus on the assessee to prove the genuineness of transactions. The Tribunal found the assessee's explanations lacking evidence and dismissed the appeal. The impugned addition by the Revenue was confirmed, and the appeal was dismissed.

6. The Tribunal pronounced the judgment on 14th November 2019, upholding the addition of the cash deposit and dismissing the assessee's appeal.
