Issues:
1. Validity of reassessment proceedings
2. Method of determination of income in the hands of the assessee
3. Disallowance of TDS credit and computation of interest under sections 234A, 234B, and 234C

Validity of Reassessment Proceedings:
The assessee filed an appeal against the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) for the assessment year 2011-12. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the additional profits in the hands of the assessee as computed by the Ld. AO but deleted the disallowance of credit card commission charges paid to the bank. The Ld. Counsel did not press Ground No. 2-3 challenging the validity of reassessment proceedings, and these grounds were dismissed as not pressed. The Ld. Counsel focused on the issues raised on merits in Ground 4-8 and an additional ground raised later.

Method of Determination of Income in the Hands of the Assessee:
The Ld. Counsel argued that the Ld. AO estimated the income based on a percentage of work in progress (WIP), which is not a recognized method under accounting standards. The Ld. AO's method of computation was challenged as ad-hoc and not in line with generally accepted accounting principles. The Ld. Sr. DR supported the orders passed by the authorities below. The Tribunal noted that neither the assessee nor the Ld. AO followed any recognized method to declare profits as per accounting standards. The Tribunal referred to Circular No. 14 of 1955 and emphasized the need for guiding the assessee to adopt recognized accounting methods. The Tribunal remanded the issue back to the Ld. AO to consider afresh and compute income using recognized methods.

Disallowance of TDS Credit and Computation of Interest:
The assessee raised additional grounds related to the disallowance of TDS credit and the computation of interest under sections 234A, 234B, and 234C. The Tribunal admitted these grounds as they emanated from the assessment order and were necessary to determine the tax payable. The Tribunal directed the assessee to provide supporting documents, and the Ld. AO was instructed to consider the issues in accordance with the law. The grounds raised by the assessee on merits were allowed for statistical purposes for the assessment years 2011-12 and 2012-13, and the appeal was partly allowed.

In conclusion, the Tribunal addressed the issues of the validity of reassessment proceedings, the method of determination of income in the hands of the assessee, and the disallowance of TDS credit and computation of interest under sections 234A, 234B, and 234C. The Tribunal remanded certain issues back to the Ld. AO for proper consideration and directed the assessee to provide necessary documentation. The appeal was partly allowed based on the Tribunal's findings and directions.
