..... pectively. The average rate works out to 3.07%. In principle, the data relevant for the AY 1998-99 cannot be extrapolated beyond that year. Therefore, we reject the 4% based estimation for the current years. Nevertheless, the said minimum and maximum % emanating from the said book conveys some whispers about the assessee business affairs and in the commissions percentages. Therefore using the said data with necessary modification, we proceed to estimate the profits of the assessee 3.07% being the average commission of the mm and mix percentages, we proceed to adopt the same as gross commission for this years under consideration and we apply to the undisputed turnover of Rs.10,39,98,162/- for AY 1999-00 accordingly.

This kind of estimation, in our opinion, constitutes reasonable and therefore, AO is directed to adopt the above working for determination of the taxable income. In our opinion, the deduction out of the above towards the unaccounted and hidden expenses @ 0.5% and the net commission income earned on the above turnover should b .....

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case in the interest of justice we direct the AO to verify this fact and then decide the issue accordingly. For the Assessment Year 1995-96 10. The assessee has raised the following grounds as under:    "1. One the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Learned CIT(A) erred in confirming the action of the Assessing Officer in taxing Rs.55,360/- as undisclosed commission income in the hands of the appellant.    2.
