Thus the actual difference is slightly more in besan account as per the two account statements and which comes to 9.826 MTs and the value thereof comes to Rs.2,47,850/- and accordingly, the addition on account of difference in besan account is restricted to Rs.2,50,000/- . In other accounts of maida, soji and atta there is in fact shortfall thus the total addition is sustained at Rs.3,00,000/- out of the addition of Rs.19.33 lakhs and Rs.7.42 lakhs sustained by the CIT(A) - partly in favour of assessee.

The learned counsel for the assessee submitted that there was a mistake in the accounts statement and the audited quantitative details of raw-material and finished products in quantity of besan, maida, soji and fada. He submitted that the assessee has filed a reconciliation statement at page no.120 of its compilation filed before the Tribunal, and therefore, no addition was called for.

We find that the assessee has tried to explain the reasons for the difference in the two statements of accounts of the closing stock in the written submissions filed before the CIT(A). However, in such type of case, at the most the value of the difference between the stock as per the statement of accounts and stock as per the audited quantitative details of raw-material and finished goods of closing stock could be added as income in the hands of the assessee. The AO at page no.12 of the assessment order has calculated the difference at 7.761 MT of besan in two accounts and the value there .....

We find that it was the assessee who has filed both the accounts statements with regard to quantitative details of the raw-material and finished goods in various products and they were filed by the assessee at the time of assessment itself. The assessee has filed a reconciliation statement and has tried to reconcile the two statements of account.

The explanation of the assessee being bona fide, we hold that no case of penalty under Section 271(1)(c) ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
