Assessee's unaccounted sales were estimated based on notebooks, diaries, and WhatsApp conversations. Only real income can be taxed. While unaccounted sales existed, corresponding unaccounted expenses were also incurred. AO cannot accept part of the transaction. CIT(A) estimated profit by applying regular GP rates, which is logical and reasonable.

Email communication suggesting accounting adjustments cannot be presumed as manipulations without corroboration, especially when accounts were audited without adverse remarks. Relevant legal principles were applied in estimating real income and making reasonable additions/disallowances.
