CIT(A) shows that altogether new facts and figures were furnished by the assessee before the Ld. CIT(A) and the issue was decided by him taking into consideration the said facts and figures without giving any opportunity of being heard to the assessee. We therefore, find it fair and reasonable and in the interest of justice to set aside the order of the Ld.

It is observed that the relevant bills/vouchers to support and substantiate his claim for various expenses could not be produced by the assessee before the A.O. for verification and since in the absence of such vouchers, it was not possible for the A.O. to verify the various expenses claimed by the assessee, we are of the view that the A.O. was fully justified in resorting to estimation of the income of the assessee from contracting business by applying the net profit rate. As regards the net profit rate of 10% applied by the A.O. for estimating the business income, it is observed that in assessee s own case for A.Y. 2007-2008, a net profit rate of 8% was applied by the A.O. to estimate the business income of the assessee and all the relevant facts including the nature of the business of the assessee remaining the same in the year under consideration, we are of the view that the Ld.

Hence, the assessing officer is directed to adopt the figure of ₹ 35,83,950/- for computation of short term capital gains as has been narrated below. As far as the claim of exemption u/s. 54EC on purchase of Rural Electrification Bonds of ₹ 50,00,000/- is concerned, the claim is to be made on the long term capital gains derived by the appellant.

Accordingly the claim made u/s. 54EC to the extent of ₹ 50,00,000/- stand to be rejected based on facts above and the action of the assessing officer is substantiated. 7.
