... ... ..... s of the expenses claimed, it was reasonable and appropriate for the ld. CIT(A) to hold that profit rate of 6% is fair and reasonable for the purpose of computing business income of the assessee. We, therefore, do not find any infirmity in the order of the ld. CIT(A) in so holding. The AO has applied exorbitant and unreasonable profit rate of 12.5% without considering the history of the assessee and similarly profit rate of 6% applied by the ld. CIT(A) against 5.18% shown by the assessee could not be said to be unreasonable and exorbitant. Considering the above discussion, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the ld. CIT(A) in computing the business income of assessee by applying the profit rte of 6%. In the result, ground No. 2 of the departmental appeal and both the grounds of cross-objection of the assessee are dismissed. 7. In the result, the departmental appeal is partly allowed and cross objection of the assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court.

... ... ..... fore us, decisions cited by ld.AR are as follows - (i) Asst.CIT vs. Gebilal Kanhaialal HUF 2012 210 210 Taxmannn 244/25 214 (SC) (ii) CIT vs. Mahendra C.Shah (299 ITR 305) 5. On hearing both the sides and considering the totality of the facts of these cases, we are of the considered view that the issue is covered by the aforecited decision of Hon’ble Gujarat High Court, wherein it was held that having made a declaration u/s.132(4) of IT Act and having paid the taxes thereon and then the returned income was accepted by the AO, resultantly the assessee had fulfilled all the conditions for availing the benefit of immunity against levy of penalty as prescribed under Explanation-5 to section 271(1)(c) of IT Act. We therefore hold that the cancellation of penalty by ld.CIT(A) was a correct view, hence the same is hereby approved. Ground(s) raised in this regard by the Revenue Department is hereby dismissed. 6. In the result, all the three appeals of the Revenue are dismissed.

... ... ..... ith the method that may be prescribed. The circular, however, reiterates that the Assessing Officer has to follow the prescribed method if he is not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of the assessee having regard to the accounts of the assessee.” On perusing the arguments of the AR and reading the same alongside the decision of Godrej & Boyce (supra), we are of the considered opinion, that the revenue authorities have erred in not recording a specific dissatisfaction, on the working of the assessee and for this reason, we feel necessary that the order of the CIT(A) be set aside on this issue and the AO must compute the disallowance, not only by applying the prescribed Rule 8D but also following the spirit of the judgment of Hon’ble Bombay High court in the case of Godrej & Boyce (supra). 10. In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is treated as allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open Court on this day of 29/11/2012.

The finding of fact recorded by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and approved by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is that the car parking space forms part and parcel of the housing project, without which even approval for the housing project could not have been obtained from the competent authority Therefore, the decision of the Tribunal in holding that the assessee is entitled to Section 801B deduction in respect of housing project inclusive of the amount received on account of car parking cannot be faulted. 3. In this view of the matter, we see no merit in this appeal. The appeal is accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs." Respectfully following the decision of the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court, ground No. 6 is dismissed. 15. In the result, the appeals filed by the Revenue are partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on 7.11.2012 .

As no distinguishing facts having been brought on record for the year under consideration, respectfully following the findings of the Tribunal in ITA No.1278/Mum/2009 and ITA No.4740/Mum/2008, we have no hesitation in deleting the addition of ₹ 26,44,155 on account of club membership and other fee.

Therefore, the issues raised vide ground no.8 are consequential to the findings in the other grounds of appeal.

In the result, the appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open Court on the 26th day of November, 2012.

Because the assessee has filed to produce sufficient evidence in support of credit worthiness of creditors. We, therefore, set aside the order of CIT(A) and restore the order of A.O in respect of additions in respect of these creditors. In the light of the fact, addition to the extent of ₹ 5,75,000/- is confirmed. However, the addition to the extent of ₹ 2,50,000/- on account of Smt. Priyanka Gupta ₹ 70,000/-, Smt.

... ... ..... d that it has not incurred any personal expenditure. Considering the nature of expenses, the personal use cannot be ruled out. He thus supported the order of A.O. 14. On the other hand Ld. A.R. relied on the order of CIT (A). 15. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material on record. We find that the disallowance was made by the A.O. on an adhoc basis without pointing out any specific instances of expenses being personal in nature. Considering the totality of facts and the written submissions CIT (A) restricted the disallowance to ₹ 75,000/-. Before us nothing has been brought on record by the Revenue to prove that the expenses incurred consisted of expenses which ares personal in nature. In view of these facts we find no reason to interfere in the order of the CIT (A) and thus we uphold the order of the CIT (A). Thus, this ground of Revenue is dismissed. 16. In the result, appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in Open Court on - - 2012.

... ... ..... le transactions of shares having regard to the relevant provisions contained in the Depositary Act. The Tribunal had held that the transactions made through Demat account is in itself an evidence to prove the genuineness of share transaction and merely because the sale of shares fetched a handsome price which price is supported by publication in leading newspapers, there cannot be any reason to doubt the genuineness of the sale transaction of the shares. The findings recorded by the Tribunal are based on the material on record and do not suffer from any legal infirmity. What was the circumstances under which the assessee had surrendered on account of undisclosed income of the business during the course of survey is not before us either in the memo of appeal or otherwise, therefore, this plea cannot be taken into consideration at all. In view of the foregoing discussion, we do not find any legal infirmity in the order passed by the Tribunal. The appeal fails and is dismissed.

... ... ..... and physical possession of shares of the assessee. demat account held by the assessee and the fact of sale of shares to demat account, receipt of sale price, the purchases having made through registered Stock Broker of Stock Exchange, Calcutta, therefore was no reason to doubt the genuineness of the transaction. Simply because there was some variation in dates of purchase and sales as per contract notes and as per stock holding statements or that the party to whom the broker had sold the shares was not available at the given address or that there were deposits in bank account of the broker, just before the payments were made to the assessee may have given an opportunity to the revenue authorities to raise a suspicion but that alone was not sufficient to term the transaction as ingenuine. We are of the considered opinion that the order passed by the Tribunal does not suffer from any legal infirmity.as the transaction have been found genuine. The appeal fails and is dismissed.

From the order of CIT (A), we also find that the CIT (A) has not dealt with the issue that on what ground the adjournment was sought while rejecting the assessee’s adjournment application. After looking to the facts of the case, we find it appropriate and in the interest of justice to restore the issue to the file of CIT (A) for deciding afresh after providing the opportunity of being heard to the assessee. The assessee is also directed to cooperate in the appellate proceedings and submit the necessary details before the CIT (A). 4. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in open court on this 6th day of November, 2012.

... ... ..... the valuation of closing stock on cost price or net realizable value is an accepted method and, therefore, CIT(A) has rightly rejected the view taken by the AO that the stock cannot be valued at net realizable value. However, net realizable value has to be adopted after giving a proper basis. In the present case, the assessee has made valuation of net realizable value on the basis of experience in the market. The net realizable value shown by the assessee at ₹ 1,06,800 is quite reasonable as in the return for the immediate succeeding year, the value of the same stock has been shown by the assessee at nil which remains accepted as there is no addition made by the department to the returned income filed in the next year. In view of this position, we do not find any infirmity in the order of CIT(A) deleting the addition made by the AO and the same, is, therefore, upheld . 5. In the result, appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 9.11.2012

... ... ..... set off of brought forward business laws. As we have already held that the business has been set up in financial year 2004-05 relevant to A.Y. 2005-06, we do not find any infirmity with the findings of the Ld. CIT(A) that the assessee is eligible for set off of brought forward business laws as income from sublease of land has been directed to be treated under the head of profit and gains of business or profession. This ground of the appeal is accordingly dismissed. 9. The next ground relates to the allowability of depreciation u/s. 32(2) of the Act. This ground is also related to the findings of the aforesaid grounds. As we have held that the income from sublease of land is to be treated as business income, therefore, the assessee is entitled for claim of depreciation and set off of unabsorbed depreciation. This ground of the appeal is also dismissed. 10. In the result, the appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 23rd November, 2012 .

ITO, ITA No. 168/Hyd/06 dated 10/10/2007 after taking a clue from section 44AD estimated the profit at 8% of the contract receipt.
