ITAT held that additions and enhancements made by the AO and affirmed by the Ld. CIT(A) in respect of alleged undisclosed receipts and PoCM accruals are unsustainable.

The AO's 20% advance-based revenue recognition addition and enhancements premised on purported statements u/s 132(4) fail for lack of admissible corroborative material and absence of a show-cause opportunity as required by s. 251(2). The PoCM computations submitted by the assessee were not controverted; accordingly ITAT directed reversal of impugned additions and quashed the enhancements.
