13 December 2009 the AO has some information that the assessee has sold a land at a higher price but registered it at amuch lower price.the assessee has not shown any cap gains in the return.the assessee has also denied any such sale in his submissons.
can the AO add back the amount to the income without anything on record except the departmental information?
