When the turnover goes up substantially it is quite possible that the GP rate may come down. As mentioned earlier an assessee not maintaining any stock register cannot be equated with an assessee maintaining stock register giving full details. Therefore, deleting the entire trading addition as argued by assessee cannot be accepted - addition of ₹ 50,000/- on estimate basis for possible leakage of revenue due to non maintenance of stock records will meet the ends of justice. The grounds raised by the assessee are accordingly partly allowed. - ITA No.660/Del/2019 - - - Dated:- 2-8-2019 - SH. R. K. PANDA, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER Appellant by Sh .....

In appeal the Ld.CIT(A) sustained the addition so made by the Assessing Officer. 5.

However, in the instant case as mentioned earlier, there is no such other defect except non maintenance of stock record. Therefore, both the decisions relied on by Ld. CIT(A) while sustaining the addition is not justified. 9. The Ld. DR on other hand heavily relied on the order of the CIT(A). He submitted that the Ld.

In my opinion an assessee who is not maintaining any stock register cannot be equated with an assessee who maintenances a stock register on day today basis giving quantitative details of items traded. Further in the instant case I find the GP rate has fallen although the turnover has significantly gone up to ₹ 2.09 crores as against 76.46 lacs in the preceding year.
