..... interest income was shown on due basis in relevant A.Ys. In the absence of any documentary evidence which may indicate that such income has genuinely been shown, no fault can be attributed to the finding of the AO. Therefore the action of the AO is confirmed. The ground of appeal is dismissed. 8. Now the assessee is before us. 8.1. The ld. A/R for the assessee has submitted that the amount of ₹ 73,073/- was received by the assessee in the year under consideration.
