ITAT upholds C.I.T.(A) decision on trading addition dispute
The ITAT upheld the C.I.T.(A)'s decision to restrict trading addition, dismissing the revenue's appeal. The dispute arose from the Assessing Officer's calculation error rectification, leading to a significant increase in trading addition based on GP rate. The C.I.T.(A) considered unverifiable purchases and the average GP rate of the last five years, diverging from the Assessing Officer's approach. The ITAT referenced a prior case on NP rate for unverifiable purchases, supporting the C.I.T.(A)'s decision and rejecting the revenue's appeal.
Issues: Appeal against order restricting trading addition on bogus purchases.
Analysis: The appeal was filed by the revenue against the order passed by the C.I.T.(A)-2, Jaipur for A.Y. 2010-11, specifically challenging the direction to restrict trading addition. The Assessing Officer had made a trading addition of &8377; 57,28,311 based on a GP rate of 8.32% on total sales, rectifying a calculation mistake under Section 154. The assessee contended that the appeals against preceding year additions were pending, and the GP rate was correct. The C.I.T.(A) allowed the appeal, noting the disallowance on unverifiable purchases and the application of the average GP rate of the last five years. The ITAT, Jaipur Bench had previously disallowed 15% of unverifiable purchases in a similar case. The revenue appealed the decision, but the ITAT upheld the C.I.T.(A)'s order, citing the previous decision on NP rate on unverifiable purchases and not the average GP rate applied by the Assessing Officer. Consequently, the revenue's appeal was dismissed.
This judgment involved a dispute over the trading addition made by the Assessing Officer based on a GP rate and the subsequent direction by the C.I.T.(A) to restrict the addition. The Assessing Officer rectified a calculation mistake under Section 154, increasing the trading addition significantly. The C.I.T.(A) considered the disallowance on unverifiable purchases and the average GP rate of the last five years, leading to a different conclusion than the Assessing Officer. The ITAT relied on a previous decision regarding the NP rate on unverifiable purchases in a similar case and upheld the C.I.T.(A)'s order. The ITAT found no reason to intervene in the C.I.T.(A)'s decision, resulting in the dismissal of the revenue's appeal.
