Assessing Officer [AO] u/s. 143(3) of the Act on 22.03.2016. 2. The grounds raised by the assessee read as under: 1. On the facts and circumstances of the case the learned CIT (A)-3 .....

Having heard rival contentions, our adjudication to the subject matter would be as given in succeeding paragraphs. The assessee being resident individual is stated to be engaged in trading of tea and fabric under proprietary concern namely M/s. Vinayaka Tea Company. It was assessed for the year u/s 143(3) on wherein it was saddled with disallowance u/s 14A, additions u/s 68 and adhoc addition of travelling expenses. All these additions / disallowances, upon confirmation in the impugned order, are in further challenge before us. 3.

The same are detailed in para-7 of the assessment order. In support, the assessee furnished extract from cash book. However, the said explanation was held to be not maintainable as the nature of source of deposits was not clarified and accordingly, the amount of Rs.26.74 Lacs was added as unexplained cash credit u/s 68 of the Act. Upon further appeal, Ld. Ld. CIT(A), in the light of remand report, restricted the addition to Rs.21.23 Lacs against which the assessee is in further appeal before us. 4.2 We find that the additions have been made on the ground that the sales being reelected by the assessee were fabricate .....

CIT(A) noted that the correct figure as claimed by the assessee was Rs.2,99,960/- which was to be allowed to render justice. However, in the very next line, Ld. CIT(A) sustained addition of Rs.1.50 Lacs which is much more than the addition made by Ld. AO. 5.2 Considering that the correct figures are Rs.2,99,960/-, we direct Ld. AO to disallow 10% of the same to account for personal element. The addition stand restricted to Rs.30,000/- and the balance addition stand deleted. This ground stand partly allowed. Conclusion 6. The appeal stand partly allowed in terms of our above order. Order pronounced ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
