Issues: Whether the assessee's claim of carrying on LC/bill discounting business and the related credits in bank accounts for A.Y. 2016-17 can be accepted, and whether the additions made by the Assessing Officer should be sustained or modified.
Analysis: The Tribunal examined the evidence accepted by the Ld. CIT(A), including six scheduled bank documents on a sample basis and the fact that the very next year's scrutiny assessment under section 143(3) accepted the discounting business. The CIT(A) found the Assessing Officer's rejection to be based on conjecture and relied on the consolidated bank statements showing correlatable debits and credits. Noting that the assessee had voluntarily offered additional income of Rs. 22,00,000, the Tribunal nevertheless addressed the AO's concern about absence of regulatory approval or comparable market evidence for profit rates; applying a conservative computation for income from LC discounting at Rs. 32,00,000 and allowing credit for the Rs. 22,00,000 already offered, the Tribunal sustained an additional addition of Rs. 10,00,000 as income from the discounting activity.
Conclusion: The claim that the assessee carried on LC/bill discounting business is accepted for the purpose of assessment, but the appeal of the Revenue is partly allowed by sustaining an additional income addition of Rs. 10,00,000 in favour of the Revenue (i.e., partly against the assessee).
