Issues Involved:
1. Addition to total income on account of unrealized sale bill.
2. Addition of expenses for want of justification.
3. Addition of excess rent paid.
4. Treatment of sundry deposits as unexplained investments.

Issue 1: Addition to Total Income on Account of Unrealized Sale Bill
- The assessee failed to provide evidence of cancellation of a bill from a client, resulting in the addition of contractual receipts to the income.
- The appellate order confirmed the addition as no satisfactory explanation or evidence was presented.
- The Tribunal upheld the decision as the assessee did not discharge the burden of proof regarding the dispute with the client or the cancellation of the bill.

Issue 2: Addition of Expenses for Want of Justification
- The AO added a percentage of total expenses to the income due to lack of proper documentation and justification.
- The CIT(A) upheld the addition, stating that the expenses were not proven to be wholly and exclusively for business purposes.
- The Tribunal partially allowed the ground, reducing the disallowance to 10% of the total expenditure, considering the lack of satisfactory evidence.

Issue 3: Addition of Excess Rent Paid
- Discrepancy in rent payments led to the disallowance and addition to income by the AO.
- The CIT(A) rejected the claim of increased rent due to insufficient explanation and evidence.
- The Tribunal upheld the decision, as the increased rent was not supported by a new rent agreement or adequate evidence, leading to the disallowance of the excess payment.

Issue 4: Treatment of Sundry Deposits as Unexplained Investments
- Sundry deposits in the balance sheet without proper explanation were treated as unexplained investments by the AO.
- The CIT(A) confirmed the addition as the assessee failed to provide satisfactory evidence.
- The Tribunal upheld the decision, as no evidence or explanation was presented regarding the source of the deposits, leading to the dismissal of the ground raised by the assessee.

In conclusion, the Tribunal partly allowed the appeal filed by the assessee for the assessment year 2009-10, addressing various issues related to additions to total income, expenses justification, excess rent paid, and treatment of sundry deposits. The decisions were based on the lack of evidence, explanations, and documentation provided by the assessee, leading to the confirmation of additions by the authorities and the Tribunal.
