The AR of the appellant has submitted details which sing only in one tune and require that tax authorities adopt only limited view that someone gives cheques and someone encashes them without looking at the surrounding circumstances. As neither AO has responded despite reminders and neither the ARs have anything new to say, the case is now disposed off on merits. 5. The AR of the assessee has filed a letter dated 29.02.2016, in which he has tried to make out a case for cash deposits in the account of the assessee. The argument of the AR is that, that cheques have been issued to various parties so that the same are discounted by them from the bank and the cash flow is generate .....

Hence, it is clear that the parties have transferred the discounted amount to assessee's account which the assessee has withdrawn and deposited in his account with Axis Bank. Hence it is not true that the parties have withdrawn cash and given it to the assessee. This is clear from the explanation of transactions which we have annexed herewith for your perusal.

Earlier letter dated 10/12/2015 is merely repeat of same assertions and photocopies, though in his letter dated 19/09/2014, the AR contends that huge tax demand of Rs.90,06,260/- is bad in law and that the appellant has cooperated with I.T. Department by deposit of tax of Rs. l,50,000/-. Reference is made to the case of Sumati Dayal Vs CIT [214 ITR 80B SC (1995)] which brings about the test of human probability and that evidence has to be seen in the light of expected behavior of a normal person.

Question is not only of bearing high interest rates coming annually to 52% but also of how the loan takers (if it is a loan, that is) are able to return the money. Has there been a final settlement of accounts? And why have other options of availing cheaper credit (from banks/NBFCs) not explored? In all, combined facts and circumstances of this cheque for cash leave one in doubt of basic commercial sense in this whole business. 9. In this light of circumstantial evidence and material on record, 80% of effective interest rate i.e. 42% (52 x 0.8) of gross cash deposited is considered as income of the appella .....
