..... onable manner restricted the addition to 1.00 % of total sale/turnover of assessee. Even now neither the copy of order in case of Hari Om Agro Products Pvt. Ltd. nor any other comparable company or the alleged audited accounts of the assessee is placed. At the addition cost of repetition, we may note that this appeal pending appeal for more than five years, the assessee failed to bring any evidence on record to substantiate their plea that their books result should be accepted. In view of the aforesaid discussion, we do not find any reason to interfere with the order of ld. CIT(A), which we affirm. In the result the ground No. 1 2 of the appeal is dismissed. - ITA No.3155 to 3162/AHD/2016, ITA No.3000/AHD/2016, ITA No.3009/AHD/2016, ITA No.450/SRT/2018, ITA No.451/SRT/2018, ITA No.452/SRT/2018 And ITA No.453/SRT/2018 - - - Dated:- 24-12-2021 - Shri Pawan Singh, Judicial Member And Dr. Arjun Lal Saini, Accountant Member For the Assessee : Shri Priyavrat Gupta CA For the Revenue : Shri H.P.Meena CIT-DR with Mrs. Anupama Singla Sr. DR ORDER UNDER SECTION 254(1) OF INCOME TAX ACT PER PAWAN SINGH, JUDICIAL MEMBER: 1.

..... ispatched. The AO recorded that assessee has not furnished details to prove the genuineness of business carried out by them nor the expenses incurred for such business. The AO noted that in the line of Textile Business, the Gross Profit Ratio ranges from 2% to 5%. Since the assessee failed to furnish the books of accounts of the others details. The AO was of the view that he is unable to find out the opening or closing stock available in the balance sheet and in the profit and loss account. The AO invoked the provision of section 145(3) of the Act and rejected the books of accounts in absence of basic details. The AO in absence of details estimated 3% of profit on total turnover and thereby made addition of ₹ 95,03,809/- [being 3% of ₹ 31,67,93,643/-]. 4. On appeal before the ld.

The assessee neither filed documentary evidence in the form of audited balance sheet, profit and loss account, computation of income, details of purchases, sales or any other evidence. No evidence was filed either before AO or before ld CIT(A). The ld.

We have considered the rival submission of parties and have gone through the orders of Lower Authorities carefully. We find that the assessee vide application dated 31.08.2018 has raised additional ground of appeal, wherein, ground no.3 and 4 has raised the plea that assessment order is passed without affording proper opportunity and that assessee was prevented by sufficient cause from producing details and evidence during the assessment as well as appellate proceedings. We find that during the hearing of appeal, no submission was made by the assessee either for admitting the additional ground of appeal or in support of additional ground of appeal, therefore, additional ground of appeal ra .....

The expenses recorded are normal and lower side and the turnover shown is large, thus, under these circumstances, the profit cannot be estimated at normal market rate. The ld.CIT(A), considering the fact of the case held that in his opinion, 1% of addition of total turnover would be fair and reasonable, to meet the end of justice and restricted the addition to that extent only. 11.

We are conscious of the facts that those corresponding additional ground is already rejected. The assessee despite pendency of appeal for more than fi .....
