When I specifically pointed out the A.R. of the assessee that why you are not able to file confirmation letters from the loan creditors who are belonging to your native village, he has not given any explanation. Under these above facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the opinion that this is not a fit case to admit the additional evidence at this juncture, therefore, additional evidence filed by the assessee is rejected and the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) is confirmed. Accordingly, this ground of appeal raised by the assessee is dismissed. Unsecured loans - ingenuity of receipt - Held that:- In the case of Shri N. Neelakanteswara Rao from whom the assessee has received ₹ 2 lakhs has not filed return of income for assessment year 2011-12.

I have heard both the parties, perused the materials available on record and gone through the orders of the authorities below. The only issue involved in this appeal is estimation of profit in respect of IMFL business carried by the assessee.

Therefore, following the decision of the ITAT Hyderabad bench, we set aside the order of the CIT(A) and direct the assessing officer to estimate the profit from the wine business of the assessee by applying the rate of 5% of the purchases made net of all other deductions. The assessing officer should also bear in mind that in no case the income determined should be below the income returned. 9. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case and also respectfully following the ratios of coordinate bench, we are of the view that the net profit estimated by the A.O. by relying upon the decision of Hon ble A.P.

The A.O. has considered the explanation of the assessee and he has observed that in the case of Shri N. Neelakanteswara Rao from whom the assessee has received ₹ 2 lakhs has not filed return of income for assessment year 2011-12. The assessee has not filed bank account of Shri N.Neelakanteswara Rao to prove that the transaction has been taken place through bank. Similarly, in case of B. Bala Murali Krishna also the assessee has not filed the return of income for the A.Y. 2011-12 and bank account of B. Bala Murali Krishna has not been submitted. The assessee claims to have received an amount of ₹ 1 lakh from Smt. Usha Kumari but no details are filed. Therefore, the entire ₹ 5 lakhs treated by A.O. is unexplained and brought to tax under the head income from other sources . On appeal, CIT(A) confirmed the order of the A.O. Even before me, assessee has not filed any details and no confirmation letters. Thus, I find no infirmity in the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A).
