The Tribunal found admitted purchases of Rs. 30,42,821 (not Rs. 76,10,580) and concluded the Assessing Officer's estimate was excessive. ITAT directed the AO to compute unexplained income by applying a gross profit rate of 5% on the admitted total purchases, thereby reducing the addition previously upheld by the CIT(A). The appeal of the assessee is partly allowed and remitted for assessment in accordance with this direction. en-us Mon, 06 Oct 2025 09:10:50 +0530 Mon, 06 Oct 2025 09:10:51 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93099 ITAT modified the order of the Ld.
