..... whether it is a purchase of the goods or merely estimate. The document is not a bill of purchase andit mentions only certain items/name and certain figures against them. The document is dumb as far as indication of purchase or investment by the assessee or the number as currency. In our opinion, to treat those figures as purchase or investment by the assessee, is based on the presumption, without any corroborating evidence, and therefore Ld. CIT(A) is justified in deleting the addition. Unexplained investment - investment/expenditure recorded in concerned loose paper was different from alleged investment by Dr Shamsher Prakash - CIT-A deleted the addition - HELD THAT:- We find that first two dates mentioned in the loose paper is date next to what mentioned as remittance date. The amounts of these two dates are also approximately matching. The date and amount mentioned against NRO in the loose paper is matching exactly with the remittance from NRO account received in the bank account of M/s Mahaan Protein Ltd. In our opinion, matching of the date and amount of investment from NRO account establish that other entries in the loose paper are also related to investment by Dr Shamsh .....

On the other hand, learned DR contended that the issue involved at present is about the admission of grounds whether it involves factual issue or not would be considered while adjudicating the issue raised in the additional ground on merit. According to the learned DR, unless revenue is permitted to raise this ground for consideration on merit all other attending circumstances exhibiting the investigation of facts or involvement of delay in raising such ground are irrelevant. These can be entertained when ground is admitted for adjudication on merit. We have heard the rival contentions and gone through the record carefully. Section 253(2) provides that if the Commissioner had any objection to any order passed by the First Appellate Authority under sec. 154 or under sec. 250 of the Act then he may direct the Assessing Officer to appeal to the HAT against that order. In every appeal of the Department along with the ground of appeal, approval of the Commissioner is also annexed by the revenue.

(iii) ₹ 1 lakh was offered to tax in the block return filed by the assessee. 5.2 Above explanation of the assessee was not accepted by the Assessing Officer due to following reasons: (i) All the cash withdrawals from bank account of M/s Mahan Foods Ltd were tallied with the cash book of the said company, which was seized during the course of the search, and deposits corresponding to withdrawal are found duly recorded. But, the same cash book, does not show any withdrawal by Sh Suresh Garg on corresponding dates, thus there is no question of handing over of cash by Sri Suresh Garg to the assessee. (ii) No details of household expenses and other evidences justifying saving of cash as Pin money were filed by the assessee. The assessee and his wife were maintaining bank accounts and the fact that cash was not deposited shows that it was undisclosed in nature. 5.3 The Assessing Officer held cash of ₹ 3,90,000/- as unexplained in the hands of wife of the assessee as same was found from the locker in her name and the balance unexplained cash of ₹ 1,52,150/-was held as undi .....

..... in the seized day book viz. Annexure A-129, there is a clear mention of ₹ 5,25,000/- given to Shri Suresh Garg as 'imprest on 7/9/2000. The physical cash available during the time of the search at Paonta Shahib office and factory was ₹ 1,15,412/- whereas the cash in hand as per the books of Ms Mahaan Foods Ltd. was ₹ 5,41,401/-. The difference in cash found and that recorded in the cash book was explained to be the cash taken on imprest by Shri Suresh Garg. The imprest balance with Shri Suresh Garg is duly recorded in the combined day book maintained by the cashier of M/s Mahaan Dairies Ltd. and M/s Mahaan Foods Ltd. This day book was seized during the search and showed imprest balance available with Shri Suresh Garg, and the balance recorded against Shri Suresh Garg are sufficient to cover the amount given to the appellant. Since the availability of cash funds cannot be doubted, because the seized day book shows receipt of imprest amounts and balances of Shri Suresh Garg, the addition of cash of ₹ 1,52,150/- in the hands of the appellant is not justified and the same is deleted. 5.6 Before us, the Learned DR submitted that record .....

In the case of MFL cash-in-hand on the date of the search (i.e. 14/09/2000) as per cash book was of ₹ 5, 41, 401/- but physical cash of ₹ 1,15,412/- was only found from the common office of the factory/ premises of MFL and other companies, in which the assessee is director. The assessee explained before the Learned CIT(A) that the difference in cash as per books and physically found was primarily due to the cash taken on Imprest by Sh Suresh Garg and out of which he had given ₹ 5 lakh to the assessee in August/September 2000 for the purpose of official expenses. The assessee has explained that this ₹ 5 lakh received from Mr. Suresh Garg was partly kept in locker No. 138 and partly at his residence. 5.9 The Assessing Officer has rejected the explanation mainly on the ground that there is no mention of withdrawal of imprest money by Sh.

The addition has been further reduced to ₹ 36,564/- by the Assessing Officer under section 154 of the Act. Before the Ld.

The explanation furnished by the appellant is supported by the permission letter from the Reserve Bank of India, which contains the signature of the authorized signatory on the reverse of the page. The appellant has also filed copies of bank drafts and FIRCs in support of investment in shares made by Shri Shamsher Prakash. Copies of share applications filed by Dr. Shamsher Prakash and the affidavit of this party have been filed. The documentary evidences available on record clearly show the fact of investment in shares by Dr. Shamsher Prakash. The onus of establishing a benami transaction is on the assessing authority. In these circumstances of the case, it has not been established that the appellant is the benami owner of the shares in question. On the other hand, the documentary evidences furnished indicate the correctness of the explanation regarding investment in shares by Dr. Shamsher Prakash. Accordingly, the addition of ₹ 16,49,330/- is deleted. 7.4 We have heard r .....

The Assessing Officer did not accept peak balance theory of the assessee and he treated entire deposit of US dollars 92,053.33 equivalent to Indian ₹ 40,50,346/-as undisclosed income of the assessee and after subtracting the income of ₹ 18,15,000/-already offered by the assessee in the return of block period, he made addition for the balance amount of ₹ 22,00 346/-to the income declared for block period. 8.2 Before the Ld. CIT(A), the assessee submitted that withdrawals from said account were made only for the purpose of specific investment in mutual funds/deposits , which were controlled by the CitiBank and the amount received on maturity/sale of those mutual fund investment/deposits was redeposited in the bank account. He also submitted that till the date of the search i.e. 14/09/2000 deposit of US dollar 73,051.30 was only appearing in the bank account. The Ld.

..... . The procedure adopted by Citibank. Singapore was that whenever investments were liquidated the proceeds of the same were credited to the bank account of the assessee. If the assessee wanted to withdraw funds from he had to withdraw funds from'though the savings bank account. It is thus noted that between 31/3/2000 and 14/9/2000, there are two credits of USD 16,953 on 18.4.2000 and USD 12,438 on 11.7.2000. The narration against these credits, FT incoming disinvestment clearly indicates that these credits are in respect of earlier investments out of the bank account which have been termed as FT outgoing investment . Thus the total investment to be considered is USD 41957.83 as on 31.3.2000 which has already been surrendered by the appellant in the block return. The remaining credits represent flotation of same funds as were already in the account as on 31.3.2000. Hence, further addition on account of unexplained deposits is not called for. Accordingly, the addition of ₹ 22,0,346/- is deleted. Ground No. 5 relates to addition of ₹ 3,17,530/- on account of alleged unexplained expenditure recorded on page 9 of Annexure A- 3.

We find that This amount is certainly not out of the withdrawals, but same has not been included for the purpose of peak balance. Regarding credits of USD 16,953 and USD 12,438 appearing on 18/04/2000 and 11/07/2000 respectively, the assessee has claimed the same as proceeds of liquidation of investment made earlier on the 10th and 11/04/2000, but no evidence in support has been filed except reference of banks terminology of FT INCOMING DISINVESTMENT in the bank statement. The assessee has also not disclosed the amount of income earned in liquidation of socalled investment. The assessee has also not included the interest income of USD 35.52, USD 33.75 , USD 32.72, USD 46.90 and USD 53.58 credited respectively on 29/04/2000, 31/05/2000, 30/06/2000, 31/07/2030 01/08/2000. The interest for the period from 01/09/2000 to 14/09/2000 ( till the date of search) has also not been computed. In view of all the observation, we are of the opinion that the disclosure made by the assessee on the basis of the peak balan .....

Accordingly, the addition is deleted. 9.2 Before us, the learned DR relied on the order of the Assessing Officer and submitted that the seized document clearly reflects expenditure on various items, and therefore, it was the onus of the assessee to explain the said expenditure and failure to do so the Assessing Officer has correctly made addition. 9.3 The Learned Senior Counsel of the assessee, on the other hand, relied on the finding of the Ld. CIT(A) and submitted that without any corroborating evidence brought on record, addition on the basis of the loose documents found was unjustified. 9.4 We have heard rival submission of the parties on the issue in dispute and perused the relevant material on record. For ready reference, a scanned copy of the said loose paper found from the residence of the assessee is reproduced as under: 9.5 From the above document, it is evident that narration of the items includes Tin plates, spoons, Singh etc. but the document does not speak whether the number(s) represent quantity or currency.

On the other hand the appellant s explanation that the figures roughly correspond to the investment made by Dr.Shamsher Prakash is reasonable. The presumption as made by the A.O. in the assessment order cannot be drawn in the absence of specific material regarding undisclosed investment. In these circumstances, the addition of ₹ 20,79,110/- is not warranted and the same is deleted. 10.2 Before us, the Learned DR relied on the order of the Assessing Officer and submitted that investment in question reflected in loose paper is different from the alleged investment by Dr. Shamsher Prakash as data-wise amounts remitted are not exactly matching with the amount recorded in the loose paper. 10.3 On the other hand, the Learned Senior Counsel of the assessee relied on the finding of the Ld.

The amounts of these two dates are also approximately matching. The date and amount mentioned against NRO in the loose paper is matching exactly with the remittance from NRO account received in the bank account of M/s Mahaan Protein Ltd. In our opinion, matching of the date and amount of investment from NRO account establish that other entries in the loose paper are also related to investment by Dr Shamsher Parkash, because in case of other entries in loose paper , the amount are approximately equivalent to INR ( Indian rupees ) equivalent of amount remitted by Dr Shamsher Prakash. In our opinion, the assessee has discharged his onus of rebutting the presumption by the Assessing Officer under section 132(4A) of the act. We also find that the Assessing Officer has not been able to identify any other investment made by the assessee despite carrying out thorough search of his residential and official premises.

There is no mention of any payment made by the assessee also. The addition cannot be made only on the basis of the existence of alleged well-known practice presumed by the Learned Assessing Officer. The Assessing Officer was required to bring on record name of the jeweller and corresponding purchase bills if any before making addition in the hands of the assessee on the basis of this loose paper. In our opinion, the Assessing Officer has squarely failed in bringing any such documentary evidence and thus no addition can be made without evidence of actual purchase of jewelry by the assessee. Even if we presume for a moment that the jewelry listed in the loose paper was purchased by the assessee, same is than included in the list of the jewelry found from the premises, and therefore no separate addition on the basis of this loose paper is required.
