..... ons of assessee, remand report received from the AO has noted that credit of ₹ 25 lakh from M/s. Pavitra Traders was received by B.N. Chaudhary and assessee has nothing to do with and similarly the cash was withdrawn from the bank account. AO has not carried out any verification from M/s. Pavitra Traders to disprove the contention of the assessee. We further find that while deciding the issue, Ld.CIT(A) has given a finding that assessee has received ₹ 25 lakh by way of bank transfer of B.N. Chaudhary on 16.07.2011 which was returned in two installments through banks. He therefore held that addition made by the AO on account of cash paid to Mr. Palai was not called for in the case of assessee. Before us, Revenue has not pointed out any fallacy in the findings of Ld.CIT(A). We therefore find no reason to interfere with the order of Ld.CIT(A) and thus, the ground No.2 of Revenue is dismissed. 9. Ground No.3 is with respect to deletion of addition of ₹ 3,05,060/-. 9.1. During the course of search action at the assessee s premises at Jalgaon, cash of ₹ 1,810/- was found against which cash as per cash book was ₹ 2,81,543/- resulting in difference of &# .....

He further submitted that it was not the case of excess cash found physically or unexplained cash found. He thus supported the order of Ld.CIT(A). 11. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material on record. The issue in the present ground is with respect to addition of ₹ 3,05,060/-. Ld.CIT(A) while granting relief has noted that it was not the case of excess cash found or there was unexplained cash found recorded in the cash books. He further held that in case of shortage of cash, no addition was justified as assessee has withdrawn the money and might have spent the same without claiming any expenditure. He accordingly deleted the addition. Before us, Revenue has not pointed out any fallacy in the findings of Ld.CIT(A). Thus, the ground No.3 of the Revenue is dismissed. 12.

The AO had adopted GP rate of 22% as found at the time of survey on the basis of GP of period upto date of . survey. The GP of preceding year as well as for the period 01 . 04.2011 to the date of survey was re l evant for working out cost of stock whereas appellant is c ons i der i ng GP of period subsequent to date of survey. Therefore , GP of 22 % adopted by the AO i s j ustified . However , I agree with the appellant tha t i n case of shortage of stock , cost of shortage of stock has to be replaced with sa l e proceeds wh i ch was not booked by the appellant meaning thereby that only gross profit rate on stock sold outside the books has to be taxed. Accordingly , unrecorded profit would work out at ₹ 1 , 47,694/ - ( 6 , 71 , 338/ - x 0 . 22 ) . Add i tion to the extent of ₹ 1 , 47 , 694/ - is upheld and appellant gets re li ef of ₹ 5 , 23 , 644/ -. Ground raised by the appellant is partly allowed .
