2016 (7) TMI 1262 - AT - Income TaxBogus purchases - Disallowance made of purchases from 8 parties - Held that:- We find that the assessee submitted the copies of ledger account, copies of bank statements, copies of purchase bills, material delivery challans in order to substantiate the purchases made from those parties. Besides the assessee also produced stock register in which the entries of material received and consumed for production in order to prove the case of assessee and ultimately sold all the finished goods for which no doubts were raised by the tax authority. We also note that the books of account were not rejected by the AO and only the purchases were doubted which were reduced by the ld. CIT(A) substantially. The remand report reveals that the purchases were doubted primarily for the reasons such as non services of notices u/s 133(6), non production of supplies before the tax authorities, non-filing of the confirmation letters from the suppliers, non furnishing of bank statements, return of income, financial statements in support of claim of the assessee and lastly in respect of four parties, it was alleged that the parties were put on the website of Maharashtra Sales Tax department declaring them as suspicious hawala dealer. Looking to the facts and circumstances of case in totality, we are of the considered opinion that when material were purchased and payment were made through banking channel and the material consumed in the manufacturing process which was not at all in doubt then the tax authorities are not justified in treating the purchase as bogus. - Decided in favour of assessee
