When cash receipts represent the sales which the assessee has offered for taxation and when trading account shows sufficient stock to effect the sales and when no defects are pointed out in the books of account, it was held that when Assessee already admitted the sales as revenue receipt, there is no case for making the addition u/s 68 or tax the same u/s 115BBE - See M/S HIRAPANNA JEWELLERS AND (VICE-VERSA) [ 2021 (5) TMI 447 - ITAT VISAKHAPATNAM] - thus the addition made is not sustainable and the same is directed to be deleted.

The Assessee is also filing its VAT Returns in connection to the purchases and sales made by it to the concerned authority. It was submitted that the impugned addition made is nothing but the sales made by the Assessee. The Assessee relied on decision of ITAT Indore Bench in the case of DEWAS SOYA LTD, UJJAIN v/s Income Tax (Appeal No 336/Ind/2012 wherein on identical facts of the case it was held that the claim of the assessee that such addition resulted into double taxation of the same income in the same year because on one hand cost of the sales has been taxed (after deducting gross profit from same price ultimately credited to profit loss account) and on the other hand amounts received from above parties has also been added u/s. 68 of the Act. 5.

The Tribunal was of the view that the assessee had sufficient cash in hand. In the books of account of the assessee, cash balance was usually more than ₹ 81,000/-. There is no reason to treat this amount as income from undisclosed sources. It is not a fit case for treating the amount of ₹ 81,000/- as concealed income of the assessee and consequently imposition of penalty was also not justified in this case. 7. Further reliance is placed on the decision of the Hon'ble Vishakapatnam Tribunal in the case of ACIT Vs. Hirapanna Jewelers in ITA No. 253/Viz/2020 wherein, the Hon'ble Tribunal while considering the issue of implication of Sec. 68 of the Act during demonetization held as under: 9. In view of the foregoing discussion and taking into consideration of all the facts and the circumstances of the case, we have no hesitation to hold that the cash receipts represent the sales which the assessee has rightly offered for taxation.
