However the relief has been allowed to the extent of ₹ 20 lacs without any discussion in respect of the rest of the items amounting to ₹ 9,50,000/-. In the four cases, in our opinion the CIT has correctly accepted the loans because the amount comes through cheques and confirmation of PAN numbers were furnished. However, since no discussion has been made in respect of other loans to the extent of ₹ 9,50,000/- therefore we set aside the order of Ld. CIT(A) in respect of the rest of the items amounting to ₹ 9,50,000/- and remit the matter back to his file with a direction to decide the issue after recording findings in respect of such items also - Appeal of the Revenue is partly allowed for statistical purposes. - ITA Nos. 224/Chd/2013 And 232/Chd/2013 - - - Dated:- 25-3-2015 - Shri H.L.

CIT(A) has erred both in law and on facts in not appreciating the facts that while submitting the remand report, the AO had specifically objected to the admission of additional evidence at appellate stage under rule 46A of the Income Tax Rules. 4. After hearing both the parties we find that a search was conducted in the Motia group of cases and assessee is a part of the same group. During the assessment proceedings it was noticed that assessee has shown unsecured loans amounting to ₹ 1,17,57,702/- and therefore assessee was required to prove these unsecured loans by showing identity, genuineness and credit worthiness of the parties. Certain details were filed by the assessee. However no confirmations were filed in the following cases : S.No. Name of the person Address Amount of loan(Rs) .....
