Bot Summary: While scrutinizing the return of income, the A.O. came to know that the assessee has deposited cash of Rs. 16,27,800/- in the Surat People s Co-op. Assessee filed bank statement of Surat People s Co-op. The A.O. noticed that the assessee was maintaining another bank account in Surat People s Co-op. Assessee filed a detailed reply stating that the deposits were out of the withdrawals made from other banks and in any case the entire deposit cannot be treated as unexplained income of the assessee and only peak credit should be considered for additions if any. Counsel for the assessee drew our attention to the reply filed before the A.O. and stated that the assessee has given a complete computation of the peak credit of Rs. 5,83,877/- which has not been considered by the revenue authorities. In the interest of justice and fair play, we restore this issue to the files of the A.O. The assessee is directed to furnish the working of the peak credit and the A.O. is directed to verify the same and if found correct, the peak credit amount should be taken as the undisclosed income of the assessee. In the result, the appeal filed by the Assessee is treated as allowed for statistical purpose.
