CIT(A) after considering the details submitted by the assessee, he gave a categorical finding that no discrepancy has been found in the purchases made by the assessee and for want of confirmations, adhoc disallowance cannot be made.

All the credits emanating in the accounts of the paddy creditors are on account of journal entries and no cash element is involved.
