Issues:
The issues involved in this case are related to the legality of survey proceedings, estimation of professional income, addition on account of low household withdrawals, and unexplained investment in the construction of a building. Survey Proceedings: The additional legal grounds challenged the survey proceedings conducted by an Inspector, questioning the authority under the IT Act and the validity of statements recorded. The Tribunal dismissed the first ground as the survey was conducted under the authority of the ITO by the Inspector. However, the Tribunal allowed the third ground as the statements recorded during the survey lacked authenticity due to missing details and signatures. Estimation of Professional Income: The AO made additions to the professional income of the doctor based on discrepancies in receipts and patient consultations. The Tribunal found that without valid evidence, no further estimation could be made, leading to the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal and partial success of the assessee's cross-objection. Low Household Withdrawals: The AO estimated household expenses leading to an addition, which was reduced by the CIT(A). The Tribunal held that the estimations lacked basis and accepted the expenses declared by the assessee, deleting the entire addition in this account. Unexplained Investment in Building Construction: The AO made an addition on account of unexplained investment in the construction of a building, which was later reduced and deleted by the CIT(A). The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, emphasizing the adoption of local rates and allowed the claim of the assessee regarding expenditure made in two assessment years. In conclusion, the appeal of the Revenue was dismissed, and the cross-objection was partly allowed in this case before the Appellate Tribunal ITAT Jodhpur.
