The query raised by AO is valid to know the origin/source of cash deposit in case you have not filed any return of income during the relevant year. As you mentioned your taxable income was below the minimum slab rate of the said financial year, In that case you may file/disclosed a memorandum computation of Income after taking all relevant information relating to Income & Expenditure
