Nevertheless it is not in dispute that the appellant has been earning such income and that the same has been accepted by the department as true save and except the quantum of such income. Further during the year under consideration the AO has also accepted the income at ₹ 72000/-. Thus what is in dispute is only the quantum of income.

Having heard the submissions of both the sides, we are of the considered view that both the lower authorities have decided this issue merely applying an estimated ratio of expense to arrive at the net figure of agricultural income.

We hold accordingly and direct the assessee to furnish the requisite detail about the re-payment of impugned loan of ₹ 7 lacs to the Assessing Officer and if found to be satisfactory, then the impugned addition deserves to be deleted. This ground may be treated as allowed but for statistical purposes. 12. Ground No.5 reads a sunder:- 5.
