Tribunal allows appeal, directs 25% Gross Profit for unreliable accounts. Additions for stock shortage, service charges upheld.
The appeal was partly allowed in the case involving additions under section 133A. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to apply a 25% Gross Profit on total sales for unreliable accounts under section 145(3), providing partial relief to the assessee. The addition for negative cash balance was deleted as there was no authority to treat it as income. However, the additions for stock shortage and unaccounted service charges were upheld as reasonable estimates by survey officers.
Issues involved: Appeal against additions u/s 133A - Shortage of stock, negative cash balance, unaccounted sales, unaccounted service charges, unaccounted AMC.

AO proposed entire addition. CIT(A) upheld AO's action. Assessee argued only profit on stock deficiency should be considered. Tribunal held unreliable accounts can be rejected u/s 145(3), directed AO to apply 25% GP on total sales, allowing partial relief.
