The assessee, when asked to explain these entries, failed to give any explanation in this regard also. These figures apparently represent the working of balance loan amount receivable out of a total loan amount of ₹ 7,19,600/- after adjusting repayment of ₹ 1,40,000/-. In the absence of any information, the amount of ₹ 7,19,600/- is treated as unexplained and unrecorded expenditure out of the unaccounted income of the assessee and added to the total income. 11.6 On the same page-4 there are two entries of amounts of ₹ 1,60,000/- and ₹ 13,000/-.

..... d not belongs to the business of the appellant hence the same is not incorporated in the books of the proprietary concern of the assessee. Therefore there is no bank account which is undisclosed to the department. The Ld. A.O. further increased the assumed turnover of ₹ 2.12 crore by ₹ 1800,000/- assuming the payment to supplier out of sale proceeds. The Ld.A.O. has not considered the withdrawals made from these accounts. Total withdrawal from these bank account is more than ₹ 18,00,000/- during the year, hence the payment to supplier before depositing the net amount in the bank account can not considered against such payment. Therefore there is no need to further increase the turnover. Further the Ld.A.O. has assumed net profit @ 12.5% of the total turnover without any basis. No comparative data of other assessee engaged in the same business were provided by the Ld. AD. before taking such high NP rate. Further the assessee is offering net profit of 3% of its total turnover, therefore rate of 12.5 % is on very higher side. There your Honour is requested to kindly restrict the estimation to N.P. only to 5% of the Total Turnover as estimated by the Ld. AD. which wor .....

As discussed above books of account being maintained only for Belapur branch for which no defects were found by the A.O. , I am of the view that same cannot be rejected. Simultaneously the transactions pertaining to Thane shop admittedly remained undisclosed where purchase and sales are not recorded, A.O. has rightly opted to treat the deposits as turnover of appellant's business from the same business. However, for e r 1 e same reflects surplus amount available after deducting expenses incurred in cash like wage labour which is supported by impounded entries in diary also ; will reduce the profit if accounted for by drawing a tentative trading cum profit and loss account. It has to be appreciated that unaccounted receipts are to be added simultaneously the unaccounted expenses also have to be given effect to ;as receipts and expenses go together. As it has been discovered from the impounded material also that these expenses were unrecorded though found incurred fr .....

However, after going through the assessment folder it is noted that audit has raised an objection stating that the cash deposit in all the three accounts, including deposits in two undisclosed account is totaling to rupees higher by an amount of Rs,43,07,200/- as the cash deposit is in NKGSB bank is actually ₹ 43,36,200/- whereas same has been taken at 20,29,000/- only.

In view of this, the amount of working capital of ₹ 2,50,000/- alongwith is estimated profit at the rate of 5% on the turnover which was worked out by the A.O. at ₹ 2,12,72,304/- has to be added. Thus addition this count which includes the estimated profit at 5% on the turnover worked out, which comes to ₹ 10,63,615 along with working capital of ₹ 2,50,000/- an amount ₹ 13,13,715/- has to be made. 4.10 Further as there is a finding in survey that expenses did include some expenses for non -business purpose only, same have to be looked into, which the appellant says have all been taken into account while offering 5% profit. I am not in agreement with appellant on this issue for the reason that the profit is estimated on turnover with accepted principle that estimation takes care of deduction of business expenses as per the provisions of Act only. Hence looking into the nature of expenses which were found to be capital and/or personal in nature and admitted so also by the appellant have obviously to be disallowed being not for the purpose of business, or alternatively percent .....
