Moreover, no counter affidavit has been filed by the revenue. Therefore, taking a lenient view and considering the principles laid down in the case of Collector, Land Acquisition vs. Mst. Katiji, 1987 AIR 1353 (SC), we condone the delay in filing the appeal before us. 3. The brief facts of the case are that an information was in possession with the Income-tax Department that the assessee has deposited a sum of Rs. 4,00,000/- in her bank account and got receipt under section 194A of Rs. 15,469/- during the FY 2010-11 relevant to the AY 2011-12.

The AO further noted that the assessee has filed her return of income under section 44AD showing total sales at Rs. 23,47,969/- and NP of 8% has been declared thereon.

In this regard we refer to the case of ACIT v/s Rajesh Jhaveri Stock Brokers P Ltd. (SC) (291 ITR 500) wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that at the stage of initiating action u/s 147, the final outcome of the proceeding is not relevant and at the initiation stage, what is required is "reason to believe", but not the established fact of escapement of income. Hence we dismiss first ground of appeal. 7. Ground No.2 has not been pressed by the ld. AR, hence the same is dismissed as not pressed. 8.

However, considering the fact that the deposits were made in staggered manner and there were withdrawals in the intermittent periods and also the appellant's claim that it had cash balance of Rs. 3,77,000/- at the beginning of the year, it will be fair and reasonable to restrict the addition to the extent of 50% of the total deposits made during the year. Accordingly, the AO is directed to recomputed the addition and determine the tax and interest liability thereon. Thus, the ground no. 3 filed by the appellant is partly allowed." The ld.
