Counsel for the Assessee submitted that the total cost incurred by the Assessee for purchase of agriculture land is only Rs. 40,80,000/- and the Ld.

Now, the question remains regarding proving the source of investment of Rs. 40,80,000/- for purchase of Agriculture Land. During the assessment proceedings, to prove the source of investment of Rs. 40,80,000/-, the Assessee contended that the Assessee had paid Rs. 13,50,000/- out of agriculture income earned during the past years and current year. To substantiate the same, the Assessee produced Jamabandi in respect of the lands owned by the Assessee and his family members measuring 18 acres.
