                                       ORDER

PER R.S. SYAL,A.M.:

       This appeal by the Revenue arises out of the order of the CIT(A) dated

31.05.2013 in relation to the assessment year 2009-10.

2.     The solitary ground raised in this appeal is against the deletion of addition

of Rs. 62 lakh on account of cash deposited in ICICI bank and Rs. 80,322/- on

account of interest income.

3.     Briefly stated facts of the case are that the assessee is an employee of

Indian Air Force. A sum of Rs. 62 lakh was deposited in her bank account

maintained with ICICI bank on 29.08.2008. On being called upon to explain the

source of deposit of such amount in her bank account, she stated that her parents
                                         2









were residing outside India during the relevant financial year. The property

jointly held by them was sold by her during the year on the basis of Power of

attorney and the sale proceeds were deposited in her bank account in cash. In

support of her claim, she filed copy of the returns filed by her parents for the

assessment year under consideration. The returns filed by the parents revealed

that they had declared sale consideration at Rs. 31 lakh each as the full value of

consideration in the computation of income under the head `Capital gains'. Not

convinced, the Assessing Officer made an addition of Rs. 62 lakh in the hands of

the assessee. Apart from that, he also made an addition of Rs. 80,322/- towards

the interest income earned from bank, which was not declared. The learned

CIT(A) deleted the addition of Rs. 62 lakh against which the Revenue has come

up in the appeal before us.

4.    We have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material

available on record. It is observed that the assessee duly stated the source of

deposit of Rs. 62 lakh in her bank account, being the sale proceeds of the

property held by her parents. Not only that, she also furnished copy of their

returns of income declaring sale consideration at Rs. 31 lakh each. The mere fact

that registered value of property was stated to be at Rs. 9,80,000/-, cannot be a

criteria to reject the assessee's contention of the actual sale consideration at Rs.

62 lakh, more so, when the same sale consideration was duly declared by her

parents in their respective returns of income. In our considered opinion, the
                                         3




assessee fully discharged the onus cast upon her to give the source of deposit of

Rs. 62 lakh in her bank account. The addition, if any, could have been

considered in the hands of the buyer showing lower purchase consideration. The

assessee cannot be saddled with any further liability. The impugned order is,

therefore, upheld to this extent.







5.    As regards the other part of the ground about the deletion of addition of

Rs. 80,322/- on account of interest income, we find that there is no decision

given by the learned CIT(A) sustaining or deleting this addition. This part of the

ground, therefore, cannot be said to arise from the impugned order. The same is

therefore, dismissed as infructuous.

6.    In the result, the appeal is dismissed.

      The decision is pronounced in the open court on 27th March, 2015.
