Detailed Solution & Explanation

Correct Answer: Option **A** **Explanation:** 1. **Applicability of Section 115BBE:** Under the provisions of Section 115BBE of the Income-tax Act, 1961, income tax is payable on unexplained money detected under Section 69A at a flat rate of 60%\displaystyle 60\%.
2. **Surcharge and Cess:** - A surcharge of 25%\displaystyle 25\% on such tax is levied. - Health and Education Cess is levied at 4%\displaystyle 4\% on the aggregate of tax and surcharge. - Thus, the effective rate of tax on unexplained money is: Effective Tax Rate=60%×(1+0.25)×(1+0.04)=78%\text{Effective Tax Rate} = 60\% \times (1 + 0.25) \times (1 + 0.04) = 78\%
3. **Disallowance of Deductions and Set-offs:** Under Section 115BBE(2), no deduction in respect of any expenditure or allowance or set-off of any loss is allowed to the assessee in computing their income under Section 69A. - Therefore, the expenses of ₹ 10 lakhs incurred to earn this income cannot be claimed as a deduction. - The brought forward business loss of ₹ 4,00,000 cannot be set off against this unexplained money.
4. **Tax Calculation:** Tax Payable=Unexplained Money u/s 69A×Effective Tax Rate\text{Tax Payable} = \text{Unexplained Money u/s 69A} \times \text{Effective Tax Rate} Tax Payable=30,00,000×78%=23,40,000\text{Tax Payable} = ₹ 30,00,000 \times 78\% = ₹ 23,40,000 Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
