The Assessing Officer disallowed the consultancy fees as unexplained expenditure. On appeal before the Tribunal the assessee submitted that expenditure was already reflected in books of account and sources were explained as out of regular bank accounts and thus invoking section 69C was unwarranted. The matter is remanded to the file of the Assessing Officer. (AY. 2013-14, 2015-16)
