Similarly, interest on income tax refund of ₹ 3016/- u/s.244A of the Act credited to assessee was not offered to tax. In view of above, the Assessing Officer opined that the assessee has willfully not filed his return of income and, therefore, the source of investment and taxability remains unexplained and the same amount was added to the income of the assessee u/s.68 of the Act. 21. On perusal of assessment order, it is observed that the notices were not served on the assessee as because he was posted at different places of the Naval base.
