A survey operation u/s. 133A of the Act was carried out on 27.9.2011 in the business premises of the assessee company at Bilaspur, Chattisgarh.

In other words, assessee has debited higher amount for the purchase which in fact has purchased the same material and quantity at a lesser amount, thereby suppressing the gross profit. Under these circumstances any addition at all which could be made, is by enhancing the Gross Profit on such purchases. Nowhere there is a finding or whisper either by the AO or CIT (A) that the gross profit shown by the assessee during the year was less as compared to earlier or subsequent years or there is any material to show that gross profit has been low during the year.
