Cash Credits.
Section 68 enacts deeming provisions : - Sectionessentially contains a deeming provision, which
applies when the assessee’s explanation about acash credit found in his books is rejected. There isno distinction to be drawn between incomeresulting from application of section 68 and
income accruing from any other of the headsindicated in section 14. [CIT v GanpatraiGajanand, (1977) 108 ITR 403] (Orissa

Section 68 [I.T. Act, 1961]
Cash Credits.
Section 68 hits also entries in own capital account: -
Although the marginal note to section 68 refers to “Cash
credits”, the provisions of section 68 can be invoked inrelation to an entry in assessee’s capital account. In fact,
an entry on the credit side of the capital account shows
that the credit entries in that account are larger than the
debit entries. The fact some of these credits relate to costsof assets can make no difference. [Dharmavat Provision
