ITAT notes that unaccounted sales should be taxed only to the extent of net profit embedded in those sales where seized material reflects both direct costs and indirect expenses; taxing the full gross profit element is excessive, and the rate in this matter was fixed at 2%. It also states that cash found during search can be telescoped against income already sustained on estimate where no separate use of that income elsewhere is shown, so a separate unexplained-money addition is deleted. Further, where profit estimation already subsumes the expenditure of the unaccounted activity, a separate addition for unexplained expenditure under section 69C would amount to double addition and should not survive.
