CIT(A). There was no dispute so far as quantum of sales are concerned of cold drinks. The AO had observed that the assessee has purchased cold drinks and later on there was mixing of some masalas to these cold drinks which were later sold as 'Masala Drinks' at higher price which gives a profit margin of 33% , but profit ratio was enhanced by the AO to 25% while framing assessment against the assessee . The AO had observed that proper books of accounts were not maintained by the assessee , as detailed in the assessment order which led to rejection of books of accounts by the AO . Section 145(3) of the 1961 Act was invoked by the AO and accordingly higher profit margin was adopted by the AO while assessing income of the assessee, as detailed above. The ld. CIT(A) rejected the contentions of the assessee and confirmed the additions as were made by the AO. Before us, the ld. Counsel for the assessee has vehemently argued that no addition was justified, even in the case books of accounts are reje .....

The assessee is contending that he has not sold the entire cold drinks purchased during the year in the form of Masala Drinks but only portion of sales of cold drinks were in the form of Masala Drinks which had yielded higher income. The assessee on its part has not filed complete details , nor stock records were filed as well balance sheet were not filed. The authorities below have detailed in their orders about non submission of records by the assesse. The details called for by the Bench has also not been filed for the profits declared in the preceding years and its acceptability by Revenue for those years. Under these circumstances, it is important to compare profit ratio declared by the assessee in the earlier years and the acceptability of the same by the Department in those years.

The Revenue is not able to demonstrate with evidence that the assessee was engaged in the business of PAAN also and income from the business of PAAN has not been declared by assessee in the return of income filed by assessee with Revenue. The powers of the ld. CIT(A) are co-terminus with the power of the AO and he could have made detailed enquiry to unravel the truth , but no concrete evidence/findings are brought on record to rebut contentions of the assessee that business of PAAN was carried out by his father from the same shop outlet in Civil Lines, Allahabad and the same has been offered for taxation by his father. Under these circumstances since no material/evidence is available on record to prove that business of PAAN was carried out by assessee, we hereby delete the addition of Rs. 60,000/- made by the AO on account of business of PAAN which was later confirmed by the CIT(A).
