The assessee, an individual, runs a communication centre in the name of M/s. Sonal Communication, i.e., is in the retail business of mobile phones, and also a partner in M/s. Connection and More. He returned his income for the year, disclosing a gross receipt of Rs.36.01 lacs, with a gross profit of 16%. The statement of the assessee's bank account with Bank of Baroda ('BOB' for short), however, reflected deposits to the tune of Rs.89.20 lacs, all of which, except a loan of Rs.72,000/-, were apparently receipts of his business.

We direct accordingly. This would, however, leave us with one addition, i.e., qua the unexplained cash deposit in the said bank account. We say so as though a part thereof represents profit, which stands separately assessed, the balance does the cost (of the goods sold), so that to the extent of the capital invested therein, the same would warrant being confirmed for addition u/s.69A, i.e., as against the total amount deposited in the account, as considered by the Revenue.
