Ld.CIT has considered the issue very carefully and held that disallowance of 10% of expenditure in respect of salaries and bonus and 15% of expenditure in respect of accounting charges would meet the ends of justice.

Kondappa Naidu by way of account payee cheque on 28.04.2010 bearing cheque No.46608 deposited in his SB Account No.017300100023562. Therefore, the AO made the balance amount of ₹ 43,42,300/- as unexplained cash credits u/s 68 of I.T.Act after excluding the sum of ₹ 10.00 lacs. 13.

..... revenue before us indicating that the cash withdrawals were used for any other purpose either for expenditure or for any other investments. In the absence of any other evidence as observed by the Ld.CIT(A), the possibility of cash withdrawals forming source for the subsequent cash credits cannot be ruled out. The Ld. CIT(A) observed from the bank statement that the assessee has withdrawn the cash and redeposited the same in the bank account. The decision relied upon by the revenue is distinguishable on facts in respect of inconsistency with not only explanation of amounts being used for charitable purposes but also the fact of same being withdrawn in cash and also by cheques ostensibly for personal purposes on recurring basis.
