The only issue in this appeal is to be decided as to whether the CIT-A is justified in deleting the addition of Rs. 2,93,79,530/- made on account of difference in purchase made by the AO violating Rule 46A of the IT Rules 1962 in the facts and circumstances of the case. 5. The ld. DR submits that the AO found difference in purchase of goods. For failing to establish the genuineness by producing any supporting documents i.e ledger and proof of payments etc, the AO added an amount of Rs. 2,93,79,530/- to the total income of assesse. He also submits the CIT-A deleted the said addition taking into considerations the submissions of assesse without affording any opportunity to the AO for verification of re-conciliation statements filed by the assesse before the CIT-A. The ld.DR relied on the order of the AO. 6. On the other hand, the ld. AR submits that the assesse filed reconciliation of purchase by its letter dt. 20-03-2015 before the AO. But, however, without considering the same, the AO arbitrarily added the entire purchase to the total income of assesse. The ld.AR referred to submissions made before the CIT-A in the f .....

The appellant in their rejoinder to the remand report has stated that "We duly reconciled the said advance and submitted copies of note sheets for sanction of the said advances and its subsequent adjustment. As already informed to your honour, ours is a state level consumer's cooperative society and engaged in implementation of various relief schemes of the Government.

We cannot enter into any transaction without preparing proper note sheet and obtain proper sanction of the authorities at various levels. These note sheets are highly reliable and scrutinized from time to time by various Government authorities including C.A.G. The learned assessing officer, however, did not look into these note sheets at all and insisted to produce the related bills. However, because of high volume of transactions, the bills are stored in several gunny bags and it was not possible to trace and produce the same at this short notice.
