In valuation of house construction for unexplained investment, local State PWD rates were preferred over CPWD rates because they better reflect market conditions. The Tribunal also allowed a 15% deduction for self-supervision where no technical person was employed, after noting that the appellate authority had already corrected valuation defects and accepted the relevant measurements. After applying the rate adjustment and self-supervision relief, the difference with the books fell within the 5% tolerance band. No addition for cost of construction was therefore warranted, and the disputed valuation addition was deleted.
