It was submitted that cash deposited in the Bank represented the unaccounted sales, disclosed in the return of income. The submissions of the assessee about the source and deposits was not found acceptable to A.O. as he was of the view that search was conducted on 22.10.2009 and thereafter after two years the amount was deposited in the Bank account and according to A.O. this period was sufficient to show that the assessee was not having any debtor from whom unrealized sales was recoverable.
