Appeals allowed; orders set aside and tax officer directed to delete additions including double taxation, motor car disallowance, notional interest

The ITAT allowed the assessee's appeals, set aside the CIT(A)'s orders and directed the AO to delete contested additions. The Tribunal held the impugned addition resulting in double taxation unsustainable because the assessee had suo motu disclosed and offered the amounts under appropriate heads. The adhoc 50% disallowance of motor car lease and maintenance was quashed for lack of findings and reliance on conjecture rather than evidentiary record (logbook/use), and the notional interest addition on interest-free advances was deleted given the assessee's demonstrable availability of interest-free funds and absence of basis for imputing interest. All grounds were allowed and remitted for deletion.
