Priyanka Chopra (Ms). v. DCIT (2018) 171 ITD 437/ 170 DTR 342/195 TTJ 900 (Mum) (Trib.)

S. 69 :Unexplained investments – Loose papers- Proposal to buy flat- Deal was cancelled – Addition is held to be not justified .

Tribunal held that , papers seized only reflected a proposal to buy a flat which was later on cancelled. The assessee also  submitted documentary evidence showing cancellation of cheques given for purchase of flat in question . Accordingly the loose papers seized in course of search could not be said to be a conclusive proof of cash payment towards purchase of flat . Accordingly the deletion of addition by CIT(A) is held to be justified . ( AY.2011-12)
