..... ed to grant him deduction u/s.801B for the reasons discussed in earlier appellate orders. Hence, Grounds No. 1 and 2 of appeal are allowed. 17.1 From the above Para from the order of CIT(A), we find that a clear finding is given by him that this issue is covered in favour of the assessee by the Tribunal order in assessee s own case for assessment year 2003-04. In the paper book, the assessee has furnished a copy of the Tribunal order for assessment year 2003-04 and 2004-05. Learned D.R. of the Revenue could not show us that this issue is not covered in favour of the assessee by the Tribunal decision in assessee s own case for assessment year 2003-04 and 2004-05. Hence, we do not find any reason to take a contrary view in the present case. Respectfully following this Tribunal decision, we decline to interfere in the order of CIT(A). Accordingly, ground no. 1 to 4 are rejected. 18. Ground No. 5 is as under: 5. That the learned CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts in deleting the addition of ₹ 17,24,487/- made u/s 68 without appreciating the fact that the assessee failed to prove identity, credit worthiness and genuineness of the transactions. 19.

..... in (2006) 156 Taxman 507 by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court that once sales and purchases are accepted as such, then addition in respect of trade creditors is not justified u/s 68. As such the addition made by the AO in respect of advance from customers amounting to ₹ 17,24,487/- is hereby deleted. 20.1 From the above Para from the order of CIT(A), we find that it is noted by CIT(A) that in all the earlier years and subsequent years, the advance of customers as reported by the assessee were accepted by the Assessing Officer in the assessment order framed u/s 143(3) of the Act. In the present year also, the Assessing Officer has accepted this practice and out of total amount of ₹ 55.37 lac, he has made addition of ₹ 19.70 lac for which advances were received in cash but he has accepted the balance amount of ₹ 35.67 lac for which advances were received through cheque. In our considered opinion, only because the advances were received in cash, it cannot be said that the advances are not genuine. The assessee has submitted all the confirmations but the Assessing Officer had not verified the same. This is also noted by him that the sales against these ad .....
