Sunil Bardia, Rajnandgaon vs Income Tax Officer, Ward-1, ... on 10 October, 2023
Sarvesh Bardia Vs. ITO-1, Rajnandgaon
ITA No. 299/RPR/2024
The appellant has claimed that there was a cash balance of
Rs.1,08,62,903/- in his hands as on 01.11.2016 and during the
months of November and December, further cash of
Rs.49,59,361/- was generated on subsequent sales. However, the
appellant has deposited the cash on different dates starting from
13.11.2016 in the Bank of Baroda and on 22.11.2016 into the
Bandhan Bank. When, the appellant claimed to have held such
huge cash of Rs.1,08,62,903/- on 01.11.2016, prior to the
demonetization, what compelled him to stay away from the
depositing the demonetized cash in one go and why he had chosen
to deposit the money after six days of announcement of
demonetization by the Govt. The conduct and the claim of the
assessee is incongruous and against human preponderance, as
why he had not deposited the entire cash available with him as
on the date of demonetization. The appellant either deposited its
undisclosed amount or otherwise helped undisclosed, unanimous
and unidentifiable persons to convert their undisclosed prohibited
currency into white after notification of the demonetization.
