2024 (3) TMI 1198 - AT - Income TaxEstimation of income - bogus purchases - HELD THAT:- Since there is allegation of getting accommodation bills, it is possible that the assessee could have purchased goods from someone else, while the purchase bills were obtained from some body else. In that case, there is a possibility that the assessee could have made some profit, which can be assessed by the AO What could be assessed by the AO is only the profit element involved in the alleged bogus purchase transactions The gross profit rate in respect of trading of diamonds may be taken at 3%. In the instant case, the assessee has sold the alleged bogus purchases and hence it was a trading transaction. Since the assessee has already declared gross profit rate of 1.42%, we are of the view the addition should be restricted to 1.58% (3% less 1.42%). Accordingly, we modify the order passed by Ld CIT(A) and direct the AO to restrict the addition to 1.58% of the value of alleged bogus purchases. Appeal filed by the assessee is partly allowed.
