In the scrutiny proceedings, the assessing officer noticed from the ITS details that the assessee has received contract receipts of ₹ 79,77,554/- from M/s Haldyn Glass Gujrat Ltd. The AO was of the view that the assessee did not declare the same in his return of income and hence sought clarification from the assessee.

The AO assessed the same on the reasoning that (a) the suppliers of empty bottles and broken glasses are poor people, who could not afford giving credit to the assessee.
