..... ash deposits amounting to Rs.16.06 lakhs made in the bank account are not related with the sales as claimed by the assessee. Therefore, the same cannot be considered as part of turnover as claimed by the ld.Counsel for the assessee. 8. We have considered the facts and perused the material on record. We find that the assessee has shown total turnover of Rs.7,42,213/- for the year under consideration and therefore the claim that cash deposit corresponding to this sale should be set off from total deposits of Rs.16,06,700/- made during the year is not found convincing.

In the light of these facts, the addition made on account of cash deposits at Rs.15,00,271/- is restricted to Rs.3,51,042/-. Accordingly, ground no.2 of the appeal is partly allowed. 9. With regard to set off of Returned income of Rs.2,13,700/- is concerned, we are of the view that this cannot be allowed as the deposits are not found to be linked with the sale proceeds of the assessee. However, it is true that the income of Rs.1,48,843/- has been shown @ 20% of total turnover of Rs.7,42,213/- the same relates to business transaction, therefore, AO is directed to treat the said income as income from .....
