Income from undisclosed sources - Addition under section 68 - Unexplained cash deposits -

Assessee was engaged in the profession as Electrical Contractor. AO made an addition being the unexplained cash deposited in his bank accounts. Even after several reminders, assessee failed to comply with the directions of AO in order to explain the cash deposit. On appeal, CIT(A) confirmed the order of AO because even before him, assessee had not fully explained the source for the cash deposit in the bank accounts. Held: Assessee had not properly cooperated before Revenue Authorities in their proceedings. Further, though assessee had submitted certain bank statements, the entire transaction remains to be properly explained. Revenue Authorities have also not made any finding with respect to the bank statements produced before them. CIT(A) had made a detailed finding in his order with respect to the non-cooperation of the assessee during the appellate proceedings and non-furnishing of any cogent evidence to establish the transactions to be genuine. Moreover, assessee was taking different stand before AO and CIT(A) during the course of the proceedings. Therefore, matter was remanded back to AO for fresh consideration.
