Addition on account of difference in balances - AO observed that assessee had paid huge amounts to various parties under the head Loans and Advances, however, there were discrepancies in the amounts when compared with the balance sheet of the other parties - HELD THAT:- Assessing Officer could not point out any specific discrepancy in the submission / explanation given by the assessee. Even, we could not understand how the mismatch, if any, in figures in the balance sheet when compared with the balance sheet of other parties, can automatically be assumed as unexplained income of the assessee. The Assessing Officer has neither doubted nor made any inquiries regarding the source of funds of the payments received by the assessee nor of other parties from whom the assessee received payments.- Decided in favour of assessee. Addition on account of 'difference in balances' - CIT(A) considering the above submissions and after verifying the evidences furnished by the assessee deleted the additions - HELD THAT:- CIT(A) has duly examined and reconciled the accounts.

The Appellant craves leave to add or amend the grounds of appeal on or before is heard and disposed off. 3. Grounds No. 1 2: The Revenue through Ground No. 1 of the appeal has agitated the action of the CIT(A) in deleting the addition of ₹ 1,09, 35, 518/- made by the AO as commission income. The assessee, an individual, has been engaged in the business of trading of knitted cloth and fabric in the name of M/s Vasu Trading Co. The AO noted that the assessee had shown low net profit as compared to large gross receipts. The AO doubted the transactions of sale and purchases made by the assessee. The AO observed that the assessee was not engaged in the actual sale and purchase of goods and that it was merely an entry provider. That the books of accounts of the assessee were not reliable. He therefore, rejected the books of accounts of the assessee and estimated the commission income of the assessee from business of entry providing @ 0. 50% o .....

Therefore, going by the facts of the case there is considerable force in the claim of the appellant that the transactions done by the appellant are on principal basis and not on principal to agent basis AII the transactions for sale and purchase have been done through banking channels. All the vendors with whom assessee has done sales/ purchase transaction are regular income tax assessee and have already paid the tax on their income after duly accounting for the income earned from the assessee. The addition made by the assessing officer has been made solely relying on the assessee statement of small margin ignoring the factual evidence placed on records and without proper application of his mind. 3.6 In view of all the facts it is apparent beyond any doubt that the appellant has produced sufficient material justifying its claim and as it has repelled the contentions advanced by the Assessing Officer with cogent material and evidence, I am of the considered view that on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Assessing Officer was not justified in making the addition of ₹ 1, 09, 63, 992 /- on account .....

CIT(A) has duly and elaborately discussed the details of the entries as noted above and has also found that in the case of first two parties, there were old balances outstanding and that the addition to that extent cannot be made in the assessment carried in the subsequent year and further that the share application money received during the year was transferred from the bank accounts of the respective parties. In the case of the third party, no amount was advanced during the year and that the same was an old balance given out of the regular sources and appearing in the balance sheet of the preceding years. The Ld. DR could not point out any distinguishing fact justifying our interference in the above well-reasoned order of the CIT(A).

CIT(A), the impugned additions had been made by the AO on mere suspicion without bringing on file as how the continuous and regular balances outstanding since assessment year 2010-11 onwards and reflected in the relevant balance sheets can be treated as unaccounted income of the assessee for the year under consideration. Even in the assessment carried out in the case of the creditor, no doubt as to the source of the amount has been made by the AO. Without bringing any adverse evidence on the file or pointing any discrepancy in the explanations submitted by the assessee, the AO was not justified in making the impugned additions. We therefore do not find any infirmity in the order of the AO on this issue also. This ground of the appeal is accordingly dismissed. 18. Ground No. 3: Vide Ground No. 3 of the .....

Ground No.4: Vide Ground No. 4 of the appeal, the Revenue has contested the action of the CIT(A) in deleting the addition made by the AO of ₹ 20, 592/- on account of commission income. The AO observed that from the facts it was clear that assessee was merely an entry provider. As per AO the books of accounts of the assessee were not reliable and hence rejected the same. The AO then estimated the Commission income from business of entry providing @ 0. 50% of the gross receipts of ₹ 41,18, 400 /- and computed the commission income at ₹ 20,592/-. 22. The Ld.
