... ... ... ... ..... ady declared in the hands of the said partners which again was accepted by the Department. Having regard to all these facts of the case as recorded by the learned CIT(Appeals) in his impugned order which have remained uncontroverted/unrebuted by the learned DR, we are of the view that the source of jewellery in the hands of the partners of the assessee firm was duly explained and the said jewellery having been introduced by the partners in the assessee firm in the previous year relevant to assessment year 2003-04, addition u/s 69 or 69A on account of the said jewellery treating the same as unexplained cannot be made in the year under consideration. We, therefore, find no infirmity in the impugned order of the learned CIT(Appeals) deleting the addition made by the AO on account of unexplained jewellery and upholding the same, we dismiss this appeal filed by the Revenue. 5. In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced on this 17th day of Oct. , 2012.

... ... ... ... ..... age of stock when a comparison was made with the book stock and the stock found at the business premises of the assessee. Such short stock could only be deemed as sales made outside the books. Parties before us admit that investment in the purchase of goods dealt by the assessee is duly accounted for in the books of account. That being so, entire amount of sales could not have been brought to tax. It is only the gross profit margin on the sales effected outside the books by the assessee, could be alone treated as his income. We, therefore, direct the AO to apply the gross profit margin as declared by the assessee 23 on the sales of ₹ 2,98,629/-. The addition to that extent stands sustained and balance of the addition is directed to be deleted. 8. Ground No. 4 has not been pressed. The same has stands dismissed as not pressed. 9. In the result, assessee’s appeal stands partly allowed as announced in the open court in the presence of both the parties on 11-10-2012.

... ... ... ... ..... in the remaining months nor could any addition be made towards suppressed production in those months. Since the addition has been made by the A.O. without bringing any concrete material on record to show that assessee has received job work charges more than what has been recorded in his books of account, the addition cannot be sustained. We further find that the A.O. has not even made any enquiries from the persons who have made payments to the assessee to ascertain as to whether or not there has been any suppressed production on the part of the assessee. We further find that on similar facts the Benches of this Tribunal in various cases have held that addition is not sustainable. Since the order passed by ld. CIT(A) is in conformity with the decisions of the Tribunal on the issue, we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by him and the same is hereby confirmed. 8. In the result, Revenue’s appeal is dismissed. Order pronounced in open Court on 26.10.2012

... ... ... ... ..... of the case, we are of the opinion that order passed by the FAA does not suffer from any legal infirmity.

Addition u/s 14A - Held that:- Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT vs. Reliance Utility (2009 (1) TMI 4 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT) has held that if the interest free funds are available to an assessee sufficient to meet with investments and at the same time the assessee had raised a loan it can be presumed that the investments were from the interest free funds available. In the present case before us considering the finding of co-ordinate Bench and of the CIT (A). it can be presumed that assessee was having sufficient funds for investments.
In view of these facts and respectfully following the decision of High Court we are of the view that in the present case no interference is called for in the order of CIT (A) with respect to the disallowance pertaining to disallowance of interest amounting to ₹ 15,50,415/-. With respect to the disallowance of ₹ 1,39,125/-on account of administrative expenses, the factual position is that the assessee has stated it has not incurred any administrative expenditure A.O. has also not given a finding to the effect that the assessee has incurred expenditure towards exempt income.

Therefore, the provisions of section 56(2)(v) of the Act were not applicable. In that view of the matter we hold that the receipts by the assessee from Mr. R.K.Bavasa cannot be treated as income under section 56(2)(v) of the Act. The additions made by the AO are directed to be deleted. In view of the decision on the main provision we have not dealt with the other arguments regarding applicability of the exceptions set out in section 56(2)(v) of the Act.” 8.

The same though is crucial in the overall context of the case, inasmuch as only the real income, since accrued, can be assessed. Further, the value of the closing WIP, as assessed, shall be adopted as the opening WIP for the following year (also refer para 4.3). Also, as this is the first year of construction, and some qualifying conditions u/s. 80IB(10) are subject to satisfaction over time, which has since elapsed, the AO shall also, if not already so verified, i.e., while framing the assessment for any succeeding year(s), satisfy himself as to the satisfaction of those conditions, being, principally, though not limited to, the completion of the project within the stipulated time period, issuing definite findings in its respect.

... ... ... ... ..... rovisions of Section 158BD applied to the assessee. Notice U/s 158 BC issued." 7. On perusal of the same we are of the opinion, no satisfactory reasons are assigned by the Assessing Officer in order to issue a notice u/S 158BD as held by the Tribunal. In addition, we have also seen that the revenue did not show any reasons for non production of the reasons recorded for the satisfaction of the Assessing Officer to issue notice u/S 158BD before the Tribunal when time was granted for one year to the revenue to produce the same. Even in this appeal, no explanation is offered except stating that reasons were recorded. When there is no explanation offered by the Revenue for non production of the document before the Tribunal for more than an year and having held that reasons recorded would not constitute satisfactory reasons, we do not see any merits in this appeal. Accordingly, the question of law framed is answered against the revenue. In the result, the appeal is dismissed.
