Keeping in view all the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that the assessee is a member of joint family, a reasonable estimate towards household expenses would meet the ends of justice. Accordingly, we direct the AO to estimate ₹ 30,000 per month toward household expenses of the assessee. Accordingly, the ground raised by the assessee is partly allowed. 8. In the result, the appeal filed by the .....
