Appeal partially allowed on undisclosed scrap sale but dismissed on undisclosed stock addition. Tax error noted.

The Tribunal partially allowed the appeal by deleting the addition for undisclosed sale of scrap but dismissed the additional ground related to the addition of undisclosed stock. The Tribunal found that the amount in question was not undisclosed but regularly recorded in the books of account, leading to the error in the addition made by the Assessing Officer. The issue of imposition of tax twice on a single transaction was not extensively addressed in the judgment.

Issues:
1. Addition made by the AO for undisclosed sale
2. Imposition of tax twice on a single transaction
3. Addition of undisclosed stock and application of gross profit ratio

Analysis:

Issue 1: Addition made by the AO for undisclosed sale
The appeal pertains to the Assessment Year 2013-14 and challenges the addition of Rs. 10,01,000 as undisclosed sale by the Assessing Officer (AO) and upheld by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) (CIT(A)). The appellant argued that the amount was part of total sales and was duly reflected in the audited books of account and VAT returns. The Tribunal examined the documents presented by the appellant and found that the sum was not undisclosed but was regularly recorded in the books of account. Consequently, the Tribunal held that the AO erred in making the addition towards undisclosed sale of scrap and deleted the addition of Rs. 10,01,000.

Issue 2: Imposition of tax twice on a single transaction
The appellant contended that the AO and CIT(A) erred in imposing tax twice on a single transaction. However, the Tribunal did not provide detailed analysis or ruling on this issue in the judgment.

Issue 3: Addition of undisclosed stock and application of gross profit ratio
Regarding the addition of undisclosed stock of Rs. 11,58,447, the appellant raised an additional ground citing a judgment of the Jurisdictional High Court. The Tribunal noted that the appellant did not challenge this addition before the CIT(A) and accepted it. The Tribunal considered this issue as not a legal one but based on facts already adjudicated. Therefore, the Tribunal dismissed the additional ground raised by the appellant as infructuous.

In conclusion, the Tribunal partly allowed the appeal of the assessee by deleting the addition for undisclosed sale of scrap but dismissed the additional ground related to the addition of undisclosed stock.
