The AO observed that it is hard to comprehend that such small farmers, residing in a a far off village or doing petty businesses were advancing money interest free and without any other benefit to a company engaged in real estate business with sole motto of earning profits. He pointed out that the creditworthiness was not established. 17. Ld. CIT(A) deleted the addition to the extent of ₹ 1,50,000/- after considering the following submissions made by assessee: No reason has been given by the AO for addition except that in the table he has stated cash deposit of ₹ 2.,66,0001- in the bank.
