    <title>Taxpayer Wins Appeal: Arbitrary Income Estimation Rejected Due to Lack of Substantive Evidence Against Accounting Records</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=88779</link>
    <description>ITAT allowed the assessee&#039;s appeal, rejecting the Assessing Officer&#039;s (AO) arbitrary estimation of gross profit. The tribunal found no material defects in the books of accounts, no evidence of sales suppression, and no new land purchases. The AO&#039;s rejection of accounts solely based on lower gross profit compared to previous years was deemed incorrect. Without comparable industry data or market survey to justify the 9.94% gross profit estimation, the tribunal concluded that the addition to income was unwarranted. The decision was consistent with prior scrutiny assessments where the assessee&#039;s returned income was accepted with minimal adjustments.</description>
