..... ash found during the survey. Therefore, we are of the opinion that the AO has rightly invoked section 69A. Invokation of provisions of Section 115BBE - Section 115BBE is specifically applicable where income of the assessee includes any income under section 69, 69A of the Act. As per the Income tax Act , once income of assessee includes any income referred in section 69,69A the Tax has to be calculated as per provisions of Section 115BBE. In this case we have already held that section 69 and 69A was rightly invoked by the AO. Therefore, since income of the assessee contains income referred u/s 69, 69A, provisions of Section 115BBE are applicable in the case of the assessee. Sub-clause 2 of Section 115BBE specifically states that no deduction in respect of any expenditure, allowance under any provision of this act in computing income referred under subclause 1 of section 115BBE means income referred u/s 69, 69A of the Act. Therefore, the AO was right in disallowing the assessee s claim of Partner s Salary on the impugned unexplained investment taxed u/s 69 and 69A of the Act. Accordingly the ground of appeal number 3 of the assessee is dismissed. - Shri S.S.Godara, Judici .....

..... the same for taxation for the current year i.e FY 2014-15. 5.2. Thus, it can be observed from the statement that partner of the assessee has not given any explanation for the excess stock found. Similarly, no specific explanation was provided by the assessee either before the AO or before the Ld. CIT(A). The AO had issued specific show cause notice to the assessee which is reproduced in the assessment order. The Assessee kept on saying that the stock found is its business stock hence section 69 is not applicable. Assessee claimed that assessee is doing only one business ie., Sale of gold, silver ornaments hence the excess stock is its business stock and not taxable u/s 69. 5.3. In this case the AO had specifically asked the Assessee to explain the source of investment in the impugned stock. The Assessee has not offered any explanation for the same. Admittedly the assessee has not recorded the impugned purchases in the books. Before us also the Assessee has not filed copy of any purchase register to prove that the impugned purchases were recorded in the books. Thus, the impugned purchases were not recorded in the books. It means, the investment made in the purchase of 5246.3 .....
