That if this data were procured and examined, the applicability of AS-9 would have been realized and the assessment could have been done accordingly so as to recognize income in the relevant assessment year. That also VAT payable/collectible on sale of property during the year and its implication on the determination and recognition of income has not verified by the A.O. during the assessment proceedings and the same could have also led to the adoption of AS-9 for recognition of income. 3.
