We find that where the income is estimated by taking GP on the turnover of the assessee, the deprecation has to be allowed to the assessee in order to arrive at the taxable income of the assessee. In this case, the CIT(A) has given a finding that when the AO has applied the GP rate, he has also to allow the depreciation thereafter and by doing so, the income becomes lower than the returned income of the assessee. We find that in reply to a specific question from the Bench, the learned CIT-DR admitted that in case the depreciation is allowed out of the income arrived at by applying the GP rate on the turnover of the assessee, the taxable income in the hands of the assessee will be lower than the returned income of the assessee and there will be no revenue gain. However, in view of our finding that the provisions of section 44AE of the Act is applicable to the case of the assessee, we find that there is no merit in the grounds of the appeals of the Revenue and accordingly, the grounds of appeal of the Revenue in all the appeals are dismissed. IT(SS)A No.10/Ahd/2010 (A.Y.2005-2006) 8. The .....
