....of the Assessing Officer, the assessee carried the matter before the ld CIT(A), who had allowed the appeal in favour of the assessee on both the grounds i.e. technical as well as on merit also. He held that reopening U/s 147 is bad in law. There is no omission on the part of appellant in disclosing the fact. As all the facts were narrated in the audit report and Assessing Officer had scrutinized the case U/s 143(3) of the Act and reopening was after four years from the relevant assessment year. On merit, he has considered the Hon'ble Calcutta High Court decision in the case of CIT Vs Virgin Creations ITA No. 302 of 2011, GA No. 3200/2011. The TDS has been deposited before due date of return. The amendment made in Section 40(a)(ia) by the Finance Act, 2010 is clarificatory. 5. Now the revenue is in appeal before us.

We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and perused the material available on the record. In this case, the original assessment was co....

....opening and closing stock were shown by the assessee on estimate basis. The assessee's case has been audited U/s 44AB but the Auditor had not pointed out whether expenses are supported with the vouchers and the balance of creditors and debtors are confirmed. Age wise debtors and creditors limit had not been mentioned in audit report. The assessee had not maintained stock register but the method of valuation and quantification of stock had been mentioned as FIFO.

....te has increased on contract receipts, therefore, no addition can be made by the Assessing Officer and cannot be sustained by the ld CIT(A). It is a fact that A.Y. 2008-09 has not been scrutinized. He further relied on the decision of Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of Inani Marbles (P) Ltd. (2009) 316 ITR 125 (Raj) and Hon'ble Delhi High Court decision in the case of Action Electricals (2002) 258 ITR 188 (Del) wherein it has been held that past history of the assessee would be one of the reliable guideline to make or not to make any addition. He further calculated the average net profit rate disclosed on the basis of A.Y. 2005-06 to 2008-09 i.e. @ 6.17%. The assessee had disclosed NP rate @ 6.31% if the addition confirmed by the ld CIT(A), the net profit rate is worked out @ 6.78%, which is totally unjustified.

We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and perused the material available on the record. The assessee has not challenged the rejection of books of account before the ld CIT(A) and also before us, therefore, it is admi....
