The solitary issue raised in this appeal by the revenue is with regard deleting the addition of Rs. 1,05,75,670/- on account of difference in purchases made by the AO which was deleted by the Ld.

.... during the year is Rs. 58,30,598/- . The VAT amount on fixed assets is Rs. 6,53,461/-, which the appellant has directly posted to VAT account. The total gross purchase inclusive of fixed assets and VAT, therefore, comes to Rs. 1.7,75,68,027/- and the total of purchases excluding purchases of 'f ixed assets, but including VAT, comes to Rs. 17,10,83,968/-. Therefore, the reconciliation furnished by the appellant deals with the total of purchases inclusive of VAT (excluding the amount of fixed assets), which as per the party-wise details comes to Rs. 17,10,83,968/-(17,69,14,566-58,30,598). Thus, there being no discrepancy in the purchase account, the same cannot be a reason for rejection of books of accounts of the appellant." 3.7. Similarly with regard to the discrepancies noticed in sales account also it was found by the Ld. CIT(A) that same are duly tallied and in fact there was no difference; relevant findings of Ld. CIT(A) are reproduced as under: "3.3.4 The second discrepancy noticed by the A.O. is in the sale made in the F.Y. 2009-10.

I, therefore, do not find that this can be one of the reasons for rejection of the books of account of the appellant. In any case, the A.O. has not established as-to how because of the said difference true and correct income of the appellant cannot be determined." 3.9. Thus, after taking into account all the facts and evidences it was held by the Ld. CIT(A) that there was no difference. Accordingly, it was held that books of accounts were wrongly rejected by the AO. It was further held by the Ld. CIT(A) that if there were some unpaid amounts which were disallowable u/s 43B then the same can be made by the AO and for this purpose the issue has been sent back to the file of the AO. Under these circumstances, we find that Ld. CIT(A) has been quite fair and justified while addressing all the issues that were raised by the AO and the assessee. It is further noted by us during the course of hearing before us that Ld. DR could nor point out anything incorrect or wrong in the detailed findings recorded by the Ld. CIT(A) and therefore, we do not find any j....
