Alleged bogus purchases could not justify an ad hoc gross profit addition where the suppliers' non-filing of returns was the only adverse feature, the purchases were recorded in the books, and no contrary material disproved them; the gross profit-based addition was deleted. On alleged unaccounted sales, only the profit element could be taxed, so the Tribunal sustained addition at a net profit rate of 4% rather than taxing the full sale proceeds. Cash entry-fee receipts were extrapolated from a short period, so the addition was restricted to 25%. Separate unexplained expenditure was telescoped against the estimated undisclosed income and deleted, and section 69C could not apply to recorded purchases paid through banking channels.
