..... corroborative evidences regarding this business was furnished by the assessee. The assessee has failed to furnish supporting evidences of his unaccounted business such as purchase and sales bills, stock details, name of suppliers and customers etc. which indicate that the assessee has made retail trading business and has received cash out of such activities and the same were deposited out of such receipts in the bank. In the case of the assessee there was a survey on 9.1.2014 in which the assessee has disclosed unaccounted stock of Rs.51,21,318/-. The appellant has tried to make out the case that whatever quantum of investment/profit earned out of such unaccounted trading activities have been parked in the unaccounted stock and the said stock has been disclosed that the income of F.Y. 2013-14.

The Id CIT(A) also erred in law and on facts in not appreciating that the appellant had also adhered to the statement made during survey with regard to disclosure obtained by survey team with respect to excess or unaccounted stock and hence the statement made could not be rejected in part. It be so held and submissions made be directed to be accepted 5. Both the lower authorities erred in making and in confirming addition in the hands of the appellant with regard to the gross deposits of the various amounts in the impugned bank account.

The assessee further claimed that the undisputed fact as it emerged from the bank account itself is that, there were cash deposits and withdrawals either through bearer cheques or cross bearer cheques.
