  "account": "A man purchased a residential property jointly with his wife and father. The Income Tax Department assessed his income for the 2016-17 fiscal year after discovering the property purchase. During reassessment, the man argued that the unexplained Rs 55.2 lakh investment should be deleted. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Mumbai agreed, stating that the evidence provided by the taxpayer allowed for the identification of the sources of the contributions.",
  "summary": "A man bought a residential property jointly with his wife and his father. The Income Tax Department reopened his assessment for the 2016-17 assessment year after receiving information through its Risk Management Strategy that he had purchased an immovable property during the 2015-16 financial year. The man then approached the ITAT, challenging both the addition and the calculation underlying it.",
