2015 (3) TMI 404 - HC - Income TaxGP rejection - ITAT rejecting the assessee’s accounts on the footing that quantitative tally of the ingredients and raw materials were not maintained and proceeded to arrive at an improper GP Rate as well as the turn-over figures - Held that:- The assessee categorically appears to have submitted that a quantitative tally of all the raw materials consumed in the making/preparation of the final marketable product was being maintained. Even though CIT(Appeals) noticed this contention as a matter of fact, the said authority did not render any finding. The ITAT instead went by the findings of the lower authority and merely based its conclusion on the interpretation of Section 145(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. In fact, there is an assumption in para 9 that the assessee did not maintain quantitative details of ingredients such as mixing gum, starch and oil. Considering assessee’s stand that such details were forthcoming both by way of books as well as through a quantitative tally, the CIT (Appeals) should have addressed himself to the issue and rendered clear findings. Failure to have done so has prejudiced the assessee. Consequently, the impugned order is hereby set aside. The matter is remitted back to the CIT (Appeals) for fresh examination of the books of accounts - Decided in favour of the assessee.
