Act, assessee mainly submitted that entire turnover cannot be brought to tax and only income can be brought to tax and relied on various case law as stated in paras 6 & 7 of the written submissions before the CIT(A). Accepting the contentions, Ld.CIT(A) directed the AO to estimate the income at 6.2%, stated to be average of the impugned years profit on the gross turnovers. While giving relief on the issue of addition of turnover, Ld.CIT(A), however, confirmed the other addition of unaccounted purchases in AY. 2008-09 and payment of Rs. 10 Lakhs by way of cash in all the years.

Therefore, accepting the turnovers as quantified by the Excise Authorities, AO is directed to adopt the same profit ratio as offered by assessee on the disclosed turnovers to the undisclosed turnover as well, in each of the assessment years. Assessee would have got away with higher profit margin than what was disclosed but now that it was caught by the Central Excise Authorities, the....

As seen from the show cause notice, the Central Excise Authorities have quantified the turnover based on various inputs like fund flow into various bank accounts etc., AO has not made out any case in those lines, but the entire turnover was brought to tax. Once the turnover was brought to tax, any unaccounted purchases pertaining to that turnover would get adjusted in the same. We are....
