The assessee in its reply has submitted that the expenses have been shown under the head traveling expenses and general expenses. P L a/c were examined and found that under these two heads the expenses are for ₹ 23,053/- and ₹ 35,295/-. In other words, the assessee has tried to say that by making expenditure of less than ₹ 58,000/- approximately, commission of ₹ 1,20,87,469/- have been earned.

DR, on the other hand, relied upon the orders of both the authorities below. 6. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the facts of the case. The undisputed fact in the present case are that the assessee has declared ₹ 1,20,87,649/- under the head Miscellaneous Income but no nature of the said miscellaneous income was explained in the return of income. During the course of assessment proceedings it was submitted by the assessee that the same was commission income received from various persons. To verify the facts the AO issued notices u/s 133(6) of the Act to the persons concerned. In most of the cases notices were returned back unserved.

The disputed fact in the present case is that the ld. Counsel for the assessee in his written submission which has been reproduced in para 8.1. by the ld. CIT(A) has relied upon various court of law which have not been discussed or distinguished by ld. CIT(A) in his order at para 8.2. The relevant part of the ld. CIT(A) s order is reproduced herein below for the sake of convenience :- 8.2. I have perused the assessment order and considered the submission of the appellant. The fact of the case is that the appellant set off depreciation of ₹ 1,26,90,763/- against its income.
