He, thus, interpreted that unaccounted money was used to pay the farmers at the time of purchase. He, thus treated the purchase of April month as a peak and made the addition for unexplained cash credit u/s 68 of the Act at ₹ 89,74,337/-. When the matter came up before the Ld. CIT(A), he after examining the working of the assessee, its process of making purchase through Mandi and making the payments have analysed the transactions and after placing reliance on the judgment of Hon ble High Court of Jammu and Kashmir in the case of International Forest Co. vs. CIT (1975) 101 ITR 821 (J K). The Ld. CIT(A) deleted the addition of ₹ 89,74,337/- made on account of unexplained Chukara Khata observing as follows: 5.5 Ground No.5:- Through this ground of appeal the appellant has challenged the addition of ₹ 89, 74,337/- on account of chukara khata.

The AO in this case purely assumed that the appellant has made the payment to the farmers from his undisclosed cash and manipulated the accounts without bringing anything on record. Therefore, the AO is not justified in making the addition on account of outstanding balances in the name of the farmers. Therefore, the addition made by the AO amounting to ₹ 89, 74,337/- is Deleted. Therefore, the appeal on this ground is Allowed. 14. After going through detailed finding of facts by Ld. CIT(A) and also observing that the assessee is having a consistent style of doing business in this manner wherein the assessee purchase agricultural produce from auction yard of the Mandi and receives slip having name and address of the farmers, rate and quantity of item purchased. The transactions are not directly between the assessee and the farmers but are through the Mandi and the employees of the Mandi maintain complete records of the transactions entered into between assessee and farmers.

We, however on going through the assessment order observe that after the case was selected for scrutiny there was no compliance on the part of assessee or his Authorised Representative to the notices of the Ld. Assessing officer on 15.02.2016, 10.08.2016, 06.09.2016, 18.10.2016 and 08.11.2016. Thereafter on 21.11.2016 some details were filed. Again the assessing officer requested the assessee/ authorized representative to furnish remaining information but again there was no compliance on 26.11.2016, 05,12.2016 20.12.2016. Since the case was getting time barred for want of completion of assessment proceedings on 31.12.2016, the assessing officer had no option except to frame the assessment on 23.12.2016. Thus, on repeated occasions assessee had not furnished the details of various expenses claimed in the profit and loss account. There is a general plea taken on the part of the assessee that books of account were audited and no instance of non- genuineness of the expenses has been found but in the instance case on repeated occasions assessee made a default by not furnishing the details and thus not allowing the assessing officer to carry out the examinat .....
