Issues: Whether additions made under section 68 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, treating cash sales and cash deposits as unexplained cash credits, were sustainable when the assessee had produced audited books of account, stock records, sale invoices, VAT returns, and other supporting documents.
Analysis: The assessee's cash sales and cash deposits were supported by cash book, ledger, sale and purchase registers, stock register, bank books, quantitative inventory details, sale invoices and VAT returns. The recorded stock movement was consistent with the sales, no defect or discrepancy was found in the books or stock register, and the books were not rejected under section 145(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The Revenue did not bring cogent material to show that the sales were fictitious or that the cash introduced represented unaccounted income. In these circumstances, the explanation of the source of cash deposits out of recorded sales was accepted, and an addition under section 68 could not be sustained merely on an ad hoc suspicion or on non-response of purchasers to notices.
Conclusion: The additions under section 68 were deleted and the assessee succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: Where cash sales are duly reflected in audited books, supported by stock and invoice records, and no specific defect in the accounts is established, the receipts cannot be treated as unexplained cash credits under section 68 without rejecting the books or adducing contrary evidence.
