On the contrary, the Ld A.R placed reliance on the decision rendered by Hon ble Andhra Pradesh High Court in the case of Purushottam Jhawar (supra) and also another decision of Hon ble Allahabad High Court in the case of Fertilizer Traders (supra) to support his claim for applying peak credit theory.

Under these set of facts, we are of the view that this issue may be put to rest, if the net income , i.e., net of all expenses is estimated at 5% of the aggregate amount of deposits. Accordingly we direct the AO to estimate the business income of the assessee @ 5% of aggregate amount of deposits. The assessee has already declared a sum of ₹ 2,04,525/- as his business income. Hence the difference between the business income estimated at 5% of aggregate amount of deposits and the business income declared by the assessee shall be added by the AO. We order accordingly. The order passed by Ld CIT(A) would be modified accordingly. ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
