NOW Assessing officer -ITO is asking me for add the interest in my total income. my employer is a pvt ltd co.
my question is that can the ITO add the interest in my total income which i have not received. 2nd question is that can i make cash gift to my real brother out of my tax paid income or any limit has for cash gift.

No the ITO cannot add any interest on notional basis provided the amount which you landed to your employer is out of your own capital. In case you have borrowed funds and have paid the interest which you have claimed as expenditure in account then yes the interest which you have paid shall be added to your income or the interest which you have paid shall be disallowed as expenditure in your account.
You can give gift to your brother but it is better to give the gift by an account payee cheque
