Statement of the assessee was recorded u/s. 131 of the Act during the assessment proceedings, wherein, he admitted that the said cash belonged to him. The assessee further stated that during the Assessment Year 2019-20, he had already offered an amount of Rs.2.90 Cr. for taxation, which included aforesaid amount. Further, cash amounting to Rs. 1 Cr. was seized from one Shri Bivas Kedia. He also stated that he was an employee of the assessee and the cash belonged to the assessee.
