Accordingly, the net profit of the assessee for the year was computer at ₹ 13,73,415/-. 4. Being aggrieved, the assessee carried the matter to the learned CIT (A) and submitted that the cases relied by the Assessing Officer were not comparable with the assessee s case since in those cases, remuneration to working partners and interest on capital was deducted from the net profit of 7% while the assessee s status was individual.

He further observed that the undisclosed receipts to the extent of ₹ 14,16,513/-, which were not accounted for by the assessee and were indirectly accepted to be assessed as notional profit and that some investment outside books, must have been made by the assessee for earning such receipts.
