Unaccounted gold and silver stock detected during income-tax inspection supported findings of suppressed purchases and consequential sales, notwithstanding a revised return filed after inspection. The article distinguishes cases where equal additions rested only on conjectural probable suppression or disclosures preceded audit, stating that inspection-based unreconciled stock differences provide material for assessment. It notes that tax paid on revised disclosure may mitigate an equal addition, but does not protect a dealer unless the failure to maintain true accounts was neither wilful nor intentional. The Tribunal's restriction of equal additions to 10 per cent was sustained. Penalty was also upheld because the dealer did not justify omissions in full and true disclosure, and the statutory penalty provision applied to established suppressed turnover.
