..... th regard to the disallowance made on the ground of lack of supporting vouchers for the expenses claimed. I find that appellant has not been able to completely controvert the findings given by the AO on this issue. Accordingly, I hold that it would be just and fair to restrict the disallowance of all the expenses to the extent of 10% of the expenses claimed and debited in the P&L account except for the disallowance of Rs.18,308/- made by the AO out of bank interest and charges which is confirmed in full." 5. The Ld. Addl. CIT(DR) stands by the impugned order. 6. Having heard the learned additional CIT DR, perused the material on record, we find that the AO made disallowances on account of various expenses claimed in the profit and loss a .....

..... income of Rs. 3,50,000 has been declared and duly accepted by the AO. I have gone through a copy of the order passed u/s 143(3) of the IT Act by the AO for A.Y 2014-15, dated 31.12.2016 and find that agricultural income of Rs. 3,50,000 has been accepted in this year. Accordingly, I hold that it would be just and fair to treat the agricultural income at Rs. 3 lakh for the year under consideration and balance amount of Rs. 3,50,000 will be treated as income from other sources. Therefore, addition of Rs. 3,50,000 out of the total addition of Rs. 650,000 made by the AO on account of income from other sources is confirmed." 7.2 Having heard the learned DR on the issue of agricultural income, we find that AO has treated the agricultural income .....

Therefore, we find no infirmity or perversity on the facts, in the observation and finding of the learned CIT appeal in treating the Rs.3,50,000/- as unexplained agricultural income under the head income from other sources. 7.3 In view of the above discussion, w .....
