..... ccount by giving narration as Agricultural income . However in the return of income, net agricultural income was shown only at ₹ 15,000. As the assessee could not submit any explanation about the source of the remaining amount of ₹ 19,000, the Assessing Officer made addition for the said sum. However, the claim regarding of agricultural income of ₹ 15,000 was accepted by including such amount in the total income only for rate purposes. The learned CIT(A) upheld the addition at ₹ 34,000. 3. Having heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record it is observed that the assessee failed to lead any evidence regarding the remaining amount of ₹ 19,000 credited to his capital account.

..... the Assessing Officer was quite reasonable in making addition of ₹ 2 lakh towards insufficient household withdrawals, which has been rightly sustained in the first appeal. This ground is not allowed. 6. Ground no.3 is against the confirmation of addition of ₹ 5,00,000. The facts of this ground are that the assessee deposited a sum of ₹ 5 lakh in his bank account by cash on 27.06.1996.

In the present case the assessee s contention about the redeposit of sum of ₹ 5 lakh at a gap of around three months has remained uncontroverted by the Assessing Officer. In our considered opinion, there is no basis whatsoever to make or sustain any addition in this regard. We, therefore, allow this ground. 8. Ground no.4 is against the confirmation of addition of ₹ 56,606. The facts apropos this ground are that the assessee paid bank interest of ₹ 56,606.
