..... 2. The assessee in its appeals raised the following common ground except for the change in figures: - "(1) Under the facts and the circumstances of the case of your Appellant, the Ld.CIT(A) -9 has erred in confirming the addition of Rs..5,84,527/- made by Ld.A.O. as "unexplained/unproved purchase/investments in purchase" u/s. 69 of I.T.Act, 1961". 3. The Revenue has filed cross appeal only for the Assessment Year 2008-09 contending that Ld.CIT(A) erred in directing the Assessing Officer to consider Gross Profit at 1.87% being Gross Profit rate of the assessee for the purchases from Gupta parties without considering the fact that assessee has not been able to prove actual delivery of goods purchased even during the re-assessment proceedi .....

..... nal was extracted by the Assessing Officer. Referring to the said observations the Ld. DR submits that matter was restored to the Assessing Officer to prove the genuineness of the purchases and sales, supporting material has to be produced to show that the transaction in question are backed by actual delivery. The Ld.DR referring to Para 4.1 of the re-assessment submits that the assessee could not prove the physical delivery of goods as directed by the Tribunal. Ld. DR submits that it is the finding of the Assessing Officer that the purchases and sale of goods was shown on the very same day and the very same pattern was observed by the Assessing Officer on examination of other bills submitted by the assessee and there is absolutely no menti .....

..... estimated the disallowance in all these Assessment Years observing as under:- 5.3.6.2. A.Y. - 2006-07: I have considered the submissions of the AR and finding of the AO. It is seen that the sales are identifiable and quantitative details are available on record. The books of accounts are audited and there is no adverse reference by the auditors. The alleged bogus purchases are based on the statement and the assessment record of third part, the said persons were not available for cross examination nor the material found from the third party was made available to the appellant. It is seen that the addition is made on the basis of statement recorded during the course of survey from Mr. Rakeshkumar Gupta, Mr. Mohnit Gupta and Mrs. Hema Gup .....

It is seen that the CF rate is in case of appellant for these purchases comes to around 0.29% therefore it would be reasons to consider the GP @ 0.29% on unrecorded purchases which comes to Rs. 8,354/ (i.e. 28,72,536 + 8,330 = 28,80,866).

In the circumstances we cannot follow the order of the Tribunal for the Assessment Year 2007-08 and delete the entire addition of bogus purchases though vehemently relied upon by the Learned Counsel for the assessee. 9. On a careful reading of the observations of the decision of the Ld.CIT(A) we do not find any valid reason to interfere with the findings and decision made by the Ld.CIT(A) in estimating the Gross Profit on such bogus purchases. However, in respect of the percentage adopted by the Ld.CIT(A) towards initial investment of capital on these purchases at 20% is on hi .....
