We have carefully perused and considered the rival submissions and the issue raised by the revenue in Ground No.1 vis- -vis the issue adjudicated by the Tribunal in ITA No. 920/Chd/2009 (supra) in assessee's own case. The identical issue has been adjudicated by the Tribunal in assessee's own case against the assessee. Respectfully following the said decision, issue is adjudicated against the assessee. The relevant part of the decision is reproduced hereunder : 10.

First addition of Rs.7,68,000/- has been made on ac count of unaccounted interest income earned out of the books of ac count of the assessee and for that , the AO has relied upon the finding of the AO as given in assessment year 2006-07. Above findings have been discussed from pages 2 to 5 and it has been stated that last year , the amount of Rs.3,96,725/- was disallowed as interest income earned out of the books of account in respect of certain notings on one piece of paper found during the course of survey conducted on 22.2.2006. 17. A perusal of the findings of the ld. CIT(A) , as reproduced above, clearly reveals that the impugned addition is consequential in nature and hence, in view of the findings recorded by the ld. CIT(A) and decision of the ITAT in assessee's own case for assessment year 2006-07, the ground of appeal is dismissed. 7( i i ) Following the order of the Tribunal in assessee's own case, this ground of appeal of the revenue is dismissed. 8.

The second possibility would only warrant an addition of the ross profit on such possible unaccounted sales. However it also needs to be kept in focus that the appellant company is having turnover running into hundreds of crores with returned income of Rs.23,60,000/- and therefore the likely hood of the discovered discrepancy on physical verification being unaccounted sales is highly unlikely. The totality of circumstances in which claim of loss has been made does not point out to anything other than genuine business loss and therefore the same is allowed. 9. Having considered the factual-matrix of the case, we consider it deductible loss and hence, we do not find any ground to interfere with the finding of the CIT(A). 10. In Ground No.4, revenue contended that CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts in deleting the addition of Rs.18,200/- made u/s 14A on the income claimed as exempt to tax. Ld.

The assessee also filed assessment order for the assessment year 2005-06 to 2007-08 to establish the contention made by the appellant in the matter. The CIT(A) , held that the department has been accepting the addition on account of adjustment made in the valuation of closing stock and therefore, the depletion in the closing stock arrived at by following the same method of accounting, should have also been allowed. The AO, has not disputed the claim of the assessee in the matter and has disallowed the same on the ground that it should have been claimed in the revised return. The CIT(A) considered that if an addition on consistent application of method of accounting is made in any particular year, then allowance for depletion in closing stock worked out on the basis of some accounting method, deserves to be allowed.
