Tribunal upholds book rejection, reduces trading addition, and deletes expense disallowance.
The Tribunal partly allowed the assessee's appeal by upholding the rejection of books of account under Section 145(3) and reducing the trading addition to Rs. 2,00,000. Additionally, the Tribunal deleted the additional expense disallowance of Rs. 27,585.
Issues: 1. Rejection of books of account under Section 145(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and trading addition sustained. 2. Disallowance of certain expenses and the percentage of disallowance.
Issue 1: Rejection of Books of Account and Trading Addition The assessee appealed against the rejection of books of account under Section 145(3) and the sustained trading addition of Rs. 2,00,000. The Assessing Officer rejected the books due to the absence of stock register and qualitative details, despite a slight increase in gross profit rate. The history of higher gross profit rates in previous years also influenced this decision. The Authorised Representative argued against trading addition due to improved profit percentage but failed to justify the lack of proper stock records. The appellate authorities upheld the rejection of books under Section 145(3) and reduced the trading addition to Rs. 2,00,000 from Rs. 3,00,000. The Tribunal partly allowed the appeal, sustaining the trading addition at Rs. 2,00,000 instead of Rs. 3,00,000.
Issue 2: Disallowance of Expenses Regarding the disallowance of expenses like telephone, conveyance, repairs, car insurance, and car depreciation, the Assessing Officer disallowed 20% of the total expenses due to lack of proper vouching and personal elements. The first appellate authority reduced the disallowance to 10%. In a similar case from a previous year, the ITAT Jaipur Bench ruled against further ad hoc disallowance when books of account are rejected and trading additions are made. Following this precedent, the Tribunal allowed the appeal on this issue, deleting the addition of Rs. 27,585 (10% of total claim) sustained by the first appellate authority.
In conclusion, the Tribunal partly allowed the assessee's appeal, sustaining the trading addition at Rs. 2,00,000 and deleting the additional expense disallowance of Rs. 27,585.
