Assessing Officer made addition under section 68 on account of amount of money deposited in the bank. Tribunal held that along with deposits made by assessee there were simultaneous withdrawals from its bank account leaving behind a negligible balance and such deposits and withdrawals from bank represented trading activities of assessee. The assessee had discharged her burden by furnishing details that transactions reflected in bank statements were in connection with its business. Further, revenue had not brought anything on record suggesting that assessee had so much of income as computed by Assessing Officer. Deposits in bank could not be treated as income on standalone basis without considering withdrawals. Accordingly, Tribunal estimated income at rate of 2 per cent of amount deposited with bank. High Court up held the held that order passed by Tribunal. (AY. 2003-04)
