As per assessee the said undisclosed income of ₹ 7,25,03,689/-( ₹ 7,20,00,000 by sale of shops and ₹ 5,03,689 excess cash found during survey) is net of expenses, therefore the said income would be assessable under the head business income without deducting any expenses from it, however, as noted by us above, that assessee has claimed proportionate expenses, which is not acceptable. Therefore, we remit this issue back to the file of the assessing officer to exclude the proportionate expenses from the said undisclosed income and allow the assessee the benefit of set off of business loss/depreciation in accordance with law. The assessee is directed to file the detail of proportionate expenses claimed by him in profit and loss account in relation to undisclosed income.

Learned Counsel for the assessee took us through paper book page no.14 wherein answer to question no.9 clearly states that during the survey proceedings, the assessee has admitted stating that the amount of ₹ 7,20,00,000/- was net unaccounted income of the firm, M/s. Shanti Enterprises. The said net income of ₹ 7,25,03,689/- ( ₹ 7,20,00,000 by sale of shops and ₹ 5,03,689 excess cash found during survey) is a net income and no any expense to be claimed), that is, the said income is over and above the income which had already been disclosed by the assessee in his firm, M/s.

We note that in statement on oath taken by the Department of Shri Vasant Haribhai Gajera vide paper book page nos.13 and 14 wherein he stated in response to questions nos.8 and 9 that income of ₹ 7,25,03,689/- ( ₹ 7,20,00,000 by sale of shops and ₹ 5,03,689 excess cash found during survey) is a net income from undisclosed business sources and no any expense to be claimed, that is, the said income is over and above the income which had already been disclosed by the assessee in his firm, M/s. Shanti Enterprises, therefore, now the assessee should not claim expenses against the undisclosed income of ₹ 7,25,03,689/-. However, we find that assessee has claimed the expenses against the undisclosed income of ₹ 7,25,03,689/- in the audited profit and loss account which is placed at paper book page No.28 and the same is reproduced below for ready reference: PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2010.

Having gone through the above audited profit and loss account, we find merit in the propositions canvassed by ld DR for the Revenue. The ld DR for the Revenue has rightly pointed out that income side the assessee has included ₹ 7,25,03,689/- as part of undisclosed income along with income from sale of shops to the tune of ₹ 19,94,05,000/- and other income to the tune of ₹ 1,35,82,093/-. Total of these three incomes come to ₹ 28,54,90,782/-. Against these three incomes, the assessee has claimed the combined expenditure viz: cost of construction ₹ 21,88,50,070/-, Administrative and other expenses ₹ 15,72,114/-, Selling and distribution expenses ₹ 1,50,000/- and Financial charges ₹ 25,154/-. Total of these expenses come to ₹ 22,05,97,338/-. Therefore, assessee has claimed the proportionate expenses against the undisclosed income of ₹ 7,25,03,689/-, hence assessee has distorted the facts and presented a false profit and loss account. Hence, it is abundantly clear that assessee has claimed proportionate expenses against the undisclosed income of ₹ 7,25,03,689/- and thus deviated from his statement .....
