.... of a job work related to work of jari, on which, 47% net profit has been shown in the return filed u/s 139(1). This unaccounted bank account was never disclosed to the department, till a notice u/s 143(2) was issued apart from notice u/s 142(1) asking for various details from the appellant. 7,3 In the revised return filed, the appellant claimed that the deposits in undisclosed bank account are sales proceeds of unaccounted trading business. However, no evidence of existence of said retail trade has been furnished . As mentioned earlier, most of the withdrawals from the bank account are ATM withdrawals, while most of the deposits are in cash. 7.4 The appellant did not furnish evidence to link (he withdrawals with the expenditure and deposits with sale proceeds of trading business. The section 44^F exempts an assessee from the operation of the proviso to section 28 to Section 43C and sections 44AA and section 44AB.

.... The learned CIT(A) also confirmed the finding of the Assessing Officer that the bank account in which the aforesaid amount was deposited was not the HUF account but it was the bank account of the assessee himself. However, by observing in paras 4.2 and 4.3, the learned CIT(A) has restricted the addition to the extent of Rs. 1.80 lacs by way of business income from retail trade of the assessee. Paras 4.2 and 4.3 reads thus: "4.2. I have gone through the asst. order passed by AO and the written submission filed by the appellant. I have also considered the evidence produced by the appellant in his paper book. I find considerable force in the contentions raised by AO that the transactions recorded in the bank a/c no. 2831 with Amarnath Co-op Bank Ltd. do not pertain to his HUF, The contemporary evidence by way of filing the return of income in the status of HUF after the time allowed u/s. 139(4) of the Act and that too after issuance of first show cause notice by AO, making application for PAN on 28.07.2009, neither getting registered under Gujarat VAT Act nor filing any returns under it, failure to furnish name and address of the suppliers in respect of Iron scrap business c....

....ns appearing in this bank a/c. In view of such statement made by the appellant in his return of income under due verification and there being no other evidence to disbelieve it, I am inclined to accept as the transaction relating to retail trade. But the documents relating to this business such as sales purchase invoices, books etc. neither maintained nor produced by the appellant, the book result declared by the appellant cannot be accepted even the most of the credits (sales) are matching with the debits (purchases) which shows that the appellant has not deposited entire sale proceeds in this bank a/c. Therefore I have no alternative but to estimate income by estimating the sales. The total turnover of the appellant in this business is estimated at Rs. 36 lacs and the net income u/s 44AF would work out to Rs. 1.80 lacs. Accordingly the addition of Rs. 35,33,414/- in respect of cash deposited in the bank a/c as undisclosed income is hereby restricted to Rs. 1.80 lacs but by way of business income from retail trade of the appellant." 8. The aforesaid finding has been confirmed by the learned ITAT by passing the impugned judgment and order and the order passed by the learne....
