Ashvinbhai Mukeshbhai Vora vs. The ITO

Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The assessee, Ashvinbhai Mukeshbhai Vora, did not file a return of income for the assessment year 2011-12. The assessing officer noticed that the assessee had deposited a large sum of cash in the bank, amounting to Rs.1,68,16,141/-. Due to the absence of a return of income, the genuineness of the source of this cash deposit remained unexplained. Consequently, the assessing officer reopened the assessment under section 147 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The assessee filed a return of income later, but the assessing officer made additions based on the unaccounted cash deposits. The assessee appealed against this decision, which was dismissed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). The assessee then appealed to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.…
