The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s order, dismissing the Revenue's appeal against the AO's addition on account of bogus purchases. While the AO added 25% of turnover as gross profit, the CIT(A) restricted the addition to 2.46%, reflecting the assessee's declared average gross profit over AYs 2020-21 to 2022-23. The Tribunal found that despite the purchases being non-genuine, the declared sales were undisputed and necessary to achieve turnover. Considering precedents where additions for bogus purchases approximate 5% GP, the CIT(A)'s imposition of 2.46% addition was reasonable and proportionate. Consequently, the ITAT affirmed the CIT(A)'s findings and dismissed the Revenue's appeal, confirming the limited addition to the assessee's income under the impugned assessment years.
