(A) held that it would be appropriate to estimate the net profit for each of the year, in the facts and circumstances of the in the instant case. 8. For determining the rate of net profit that should be adopted for determining the income of the assessee, the Ld. CIT(A) coonsidered (a) the net profit rate computed on the basis of income disclosed by the assessee in the returns of income filed by him u/s. 153A of the Act over the turnover determined by the Ld CIT(A). (b) the rate of net profit estimated by the Department in other comparable cases. In this regard, the ld CIT(A) considered the decision rendered in the related parties cases viz., Sri Abdul Gadhafi and Smt. Thasleena P.P. On conspectus of the matter, the Ld. CIT(A) determined the rate of net profit at 8% and accordingly, directed the Assessing Officer to determine the income by applying the said rate on the turnover determined by him. Still aggrieved, the assessee has filed these appeals before us. It appears that the revenue has accepted the orders passed by Ld CIT(A) and hence we are required to adjudicate the appeals filed by the assessee. 9.

However, the net profit declared by the appellant in the revised returns on the basis of cash flow statement was on much sound footings than an arbitrary estimation of income made by the Assessing Officer. If net profit declared by the appellant on the basis of cash flow statement with due credit for the omissions in assessment year 2006-07, the addition of Rs.24,888/- on undisclosed income from UAE Shop and Rs.6,31,200/- towards unexplained investments in UAE Shop, is considered with reference to the turnover estimated by the Assessing Officer and as modified and upheld in the proceedings, the net profit rate works out to 2.24% to 7.28% in assessment years 2006-07 and 07-08 as in the next page.

Mohammed based on his wife Smt. KP Zeenath s appeal proceedings the CIT(A)-I, Kochi decided that the average net profit rat at 9.54%. The cases quoted by the Assessing Officer in 4.2.6 are not applicable to this case. In the light of these facts and circumstances the Assessing Officer was not justified in applying the GP/NP rate based on a unreliable books. Thus, the appellant has made out a case that (i) the rate of gross profit adopted by the Assessing Officer is wrong, excessive and based on a unreliable and undependable books.
