..... over the business since 1994 from her husband, and he was earlier carrying on the business of this sole proprietary concern. The reason for change of ownership was stated to be old age and illness of the husband. Therefore, it has been further held that the assessee was earlier owner of this concern but income for a part period has been shown in the name of his wife, which is not of much significance. Therefore, the receipts, found out from the bank account and aggregating to Rs. 26,27,610/-, have been added to the income of the assessee. Further addition of Rs. 30,477/- has been made in respect of house hold expenses. 4. These additions have been deleted by the Ld. CIT(A). In this connection, it is mentioned that in the case of Smt.

The fact is that she is an independent assessee and assessment has been completed in her case u/s 158-BD. The grounds include a challenge to addition of Rs. 26,27,610/-. Further, it is submitted that the undisclosed income arose on account of negative peak, which showed that unaccounted money was invested. Ld.

Pallavi Sood. The bank has furnished necessary confirmation in this regard. On the basis of this f .....

..... s recorded the fact that she has been filing return of income independently prior to the date of search declaring propriety income from M/s. Transworld International. She also opened bank account in this name and assessment has been completed by the income-tax department. No material has been brought on record to hold that this concern is not a proprietary concern of the wife. Similar income has been added in the case of the husband and the wife.

..... see. Following the rule of consistency, it is held that Ld. CIT(A) was right in deleting the addition, representing income from aforesaid concern, from the assessment of the assessee. 7.1 The revenue has also challenged the addition made on account of house hold expenses in the appeal.
