of <h1>Revenue's Appeals Dismissed for Suppressed Receipts, Lack of Evidence</h1> <h3>Asstt. Commissioner of Income Tax Versus Dr. Rajendra I. Desai Prop. of M/s Amit Clinic</h3> Asstt. Commissioner of Income Tax Versus Dr. Rajendra I. Desai Prop. of M/s Amit Clinic - TMI Issues:Appeal against CIT(A) order for assessment years 2006-07 & 2007-08; Addition of Rs. 10,12,859/- for suppressed receipts.Analysis:The appeals were filed by the Revenue against the CIT(A) order for the assessment years 2006-07 & 2007-08. The assessing officer observed that the doctor- assessee did not show consulting receipts income on Saturdays and Sundays, suspecting suppression of receipts. The assessing officer made an addition of Rs. 10,12,859/- based on the average professional receipts per day. The CIT(A) considered the doctor's submissions, including evidence of illness and discontinuation of practice, and deleted the addition. The CIT(A) noted that the assessing officer did not reject the books of accounts, making the estimation of gross receipts unsustainable. The CIT(A) found no substance in the assessing officer's contention and held that the addition was based on assumptions and surmises.The Revenue appealed the CIT(A) decision. During the hearing, the Departmental Representative supported the assessing officer's order, while the doctor filed written submissions. The ITAT found that the assessing officer made the addition merely on the basis that the doctor showed receipts for five days a week, not on all Saturdays and Sundays. The ITAT agreed with the CIT(A) that there was no evidence to show that the doctor was working on weekends. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, noting that the doctor provided evidence during assessment proceedings to demonstrate his availability for consultation only from Monday to Friday. The ITAT also clarified that the medicines prescribed on weekends were for hospitalized patients, not for consulting receipts. The ITAT concluded that the assessing officer's addition was unfounded and not sustainable in law, affirming the CIT(A)'s deletion of the addition.In conclusion, both appeals filed by the Revenue were dismissed, upholding the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the addition of Rs. 10,12,859/- for suppressed receipts.
