This appeal is filed by the Revenue challenging judgement of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal dated 09.01.2015 raising following questions for our consideration: "[A] Whether the Appellate Tribunal has substantially erred in upholding the decision of CIT (A) whereby the disallowance has been restricted to 2.5% from 25% in spite of concurring with AO that the job work charges have been inflated? [B] Whether the Appellate Tribunal has substantially erred in upholding the decision of CIT (A) that the assessee had submitted the necessary details during the assessment proceedings without examining the veracity of such facts independently and without asking remand report from the AO on such new fa .....

The assessee has filed all the relevant details in full addresses of the vendors and copies of their bills. The assessee has pleaded before the CIT(A) that all the vendors were from Bhiwandi, Maharastra and it was not practically possible to obtain confirmatory letters from each of them after the passage of such a long time since the transactions were made.

The Tribunal, while dismissing the Revenue's appeal, noted that before CIT (Appeals), the assessee had pointed out the relevant details with full addresses of the vendors and copies of their bills. These vendors were from Bhivandi, Maharastra. It was not possible to obtain a confirmatory letter from each of them after long passage of time. The Tribunal noted that the Assessing Officer had not recorded any justifiable reason for making such disallowance on estimate basis. The Tribunal was of the opinion that in the line of the business namely of manufacturing of grey cloth, finished cloth could not be sold unless it is weaved and processed and the cost of weaving a .....
