of <h1>Tax Appeal Dismissed, CIT(A) Decision Upheld on Net Profit Rate, Sections 40A(3) & 37(1)</h1> <h3>Asstt. Commr. of Income-tax Versus M/s. Rameshwar Prasad Sharma</h3> Asstt. Commr. of Income-tax Versus M/s. Rameshwar Prasad Sharma - TMI Issues:1. Appeal against the order of CIT (A) relating to assessment year 2002-03.2. Objection to net profit rate of 10.5% instead of 10% declared by the assessee.3. Deletion of additions made under section 40A(3) and u/s 37(1).4. Application of net profit rate @ 10.5%.Analysis:1. The appeal filed by the Revenue and two C.Os by the assessee are directed against the order of the CIT (A) for assessment year 2002-03. The assessee objected to the net profit rate of 10.5% against the declared 10%. One C.O. was dismissed as a mistake, leaving one C.O. for consideration.2. The AO rejected the books of account due to defects and applied a net profit rate of 12.5% instead of the declared 10%. This resulted in total income assessed at Rs.21,98,100/- compared to the declared Rs.9,49,560/-. The CIT (A) reduced the net profit rate to 10.5% and deleted the disallowances made under section 40A(3) and u/s 37(1) based on the trading addition.3. The department appealed against the deletion of additions under section 40A(3) and u/s 37(1), while the assessee objected to the application of net profit rate @ 10.5%. The Tribunal found that previous decisions supported the deletion of these additions and upheld the CIT (A)'s order, citing the principle that once a net profit rate is applied, no other addition is warranted.4. Regarding the trading addition, the Tribunal found the application of net profit rate at 10.5% justifiable under section 145(3) of the Act, considering defects in the accounts. The Tribunal referenced a similar case where a net profit rate of 8.5% was confirmed. Therefore, the order of the CIT (A) to apply a net profit rate of 10.5% was upheld.In conclusion, the appeal of the Department and C.Os of the assessee were dismissed, confirming the CIT (A)'s orders on the issues of additions under section 40A(3) and u/s 37(1), as well as the application of net profit rate at 10.5%.
