Reliance on hypothecation statement to determine taxable income was upheld where the hypothecation statement recorded quantities and values, was certified as reflecting books of account, and showed substantial unexplained discrepancies with bank records; the AO's notional addition was justified because inflated stock declarations to secure higher bank credit constituted commercially immoral conduct and admissible material.
