Also the statement of Mrs. Jashodaben Ravji Majethia was recorded during the course of search which shows that the jewellery is only out of gifts and never purchased - Decided in favour of assesse Unaccounted cash credit - Held that:- Similar addition made on account of creditors in the A.Y. 2008-09 were deleted by the ld.

Since these savings are made over a period of 20-25 years from my husband's income as well as my son's income which they themselves do not know, so I am not in a position to show any proof I would once again like to say that all these amounts received are from my savings only. 5.
