..... s, and therefore, yielded low G, P. (viii) The G. P, rate was higher in A. Y. 2005-06 (13.73%) on account of high G. P. rate in a single transaction. (ix) In respect of insulated scrap, if FIFO method is applied the G. P. rate would be high. However, if LOT to LOT method is applied, as the appellant has sold the scrap on lot basis in almost all transactions, there would be no difference in GP.

The general submissions have been reproduced in the earlier part of this order, the appellant has also submitted charts showing working of G. P. rate by FIFO method and LOT to LOT method for A.

The submission of the appellant that the G, P. rate should be taken on LOT to LOT basis as it gives a clear picture of the profit margin of the appellant has some force. However, the comparison of the G. P. rate of two years cannot be made on LOT to LOT basis as it will not give proper result. There is a force in the appellant's submission that the quality of scrap varies from year to year and it cannot be strictly compared with the earlier years and on account of huge increase in turnover, the G, P. rate cannot be as high as in the previous year. It was also pointed out by the appellant that there was high profit margin in one transaction. As per the FIFO method, the G. P. rate in respect of insulated scrap for A. Y. 2005-06 was 7.65% whereas for A. Y. 2006-07, it was 1.11%, However, by LOT to LOT method, the G. P. rate for last year was 3.26% as against 1.66% for the present year. After considering all the facts, and circumstances, it would meet the ends of justice if G, P. rate for the current year is taken @ 5%. The appellant has already shown a G. P. rate of 1.66%. Accordingly, the addition @ 3.34% of the G. P. which works out to S .....
