....to principles of natural justice.

....urce of cash received on 01.09.2009 amounting to Rs. 1,00,000/- and on 20/07/08 amounting to Rs. 25,00,000/-. He submitted that explanation given by assessee regarding purchase of old car during financial year 2006-07 for a sum of Rs. 34,85,385/- and subsequent sale during year under consideration cannot be accepted. He submitted that assessee failed to prove identity of cash transaction. He placed reliance upon orders of Ld. AO in support of his arguments. 11. On the contrary, Ld.Counsel submitted that Rs. 25 lakhs represents cash credit in books of account on sale of car. It was submitted that assessee purchased car for Rs. 34,85,395/- during financial year 2006-07 and written down value of said car during year of purchase was Rs. 25,02,04/-.

....llant could be said to have been validly discharged. The A.O. was required to bring on record that the evidence furnished by the appellant with regard to rendering of services to clients was not genuine. He ought to have conducted enquiries to enable himself to arrive at the conclusion that the transactions were not genuine without merely doubting such transactions. Having regard to the above, addition made to the extent of Rs. 2,31,00,000/- is deleted." 13.2. We do not find any infirmity in aforestated observations of Ld.CIT(A) and more so when Ld.AO during remand proceedings has not challenged authenticity/veracity of documents filed by assessee, which was verified by him. It is further pertinent to note that assessee declared said sum as its income and there was full disclosure of such sum as has been recorded by Ld. CIT(A). We therefore do not find any infirmity in decision of Ld. CIT(A) in respect of cash found deposited in bank account amounting to Rs. 2,30,00,000/-. 14. Accordingly this ground raised by revenue stands dismissed. 15. Ground No. 2 is in respect of the addition amounting to Rs. 25 lakhs deleted by Ld.CIT(A) against cash receipts for sale of car. 15.....

....istics, as it had no other option because car's ownership was not getting transferred. 18.1. Ld. CIT (A) while deciding this issue observed as under: "6.8. It was also explained in the remand proceedings that the appellant company had purchased a car for Rs. 34,85,395/- from M/s History Logistics (Prop. Mr. Sanjay Bhandari) in F.Y. 2006-07 relevant to A.Y. 2007-08 and written down value of the said car at the beginning of the instant financial year was Rs. 25,02,044/-. It was explained that the seller had provided the company all requisite documents at the time of purchase of the car and the appellant applied for registration of the said car in its favour with the appropriate authority. However the transfer of car in favor of the appellant company was refused by the registering authorities as the seller had committed some custom duty violations and the government authorities imposed blanket ban on transfer of all cars imported by the said seller M/s History Logistics. Thus to save itself from unnecessary legal hurdles the appellant company sold the car back to M/s History Logistics. The appellant also placed following evidences on record:- "i) Copy of Customs c....

.....A.O. during year under consideration, cannot improve upon error committed by not verifying transaction of purchase of car during financial year 2006-07. 19.3. We have no option but to uphold observations of Ld.CIT (A). 20. Accordingly, this ground raised by revenue stands dismissed. 21. Ground No. 3 is in respect of addition of Rs. 62,52,198/-, being deleted by Ld.CIT (A). 22. Ld.Sr.DR submitted that assessee was required to furnish details of bills raised for advertising services. From details filed, it was observed by Ld.AO that billing amount of Rs. 1,52,16,35,741/,- was later on corrected to Rs. 1,39,04,40,325/-. He submitted that assessee when called upon to explain difference in gross receipts shown in P&L account and billing amount, it was submitted that, service tax amount was included in gross receipt. Assessee was accordingly called upon to furnish details of service tax amount. Ld.Sr.DR submitted that even after considering explanation offered by assessee, and taking into consideration service tax expenses included in gross receipt, there has been understatement of gross receipts to the extent of Rs. 62,52,198/-. 23. On the contrary Ld.Counsel placed heav....

....sessment proceedings. This objection is without merit. The appellant has explained that the difference between the declared receipts and gross receipts is on account of accrued receipts which have been offered as income in the instant year but the bills for which were issued in the succeeding year and this stand accepted in the assessment framed for A.Y. 2010-11. The basic issue which remains is of the deduction claimed by the appellant of Rs. 1,23,24,471/-. The appellant has provided branch wise client wise list on account of discount allowed to the clients or deductions made by the clients other than a sum of Rs. 45,00,000/- which represents rental income. The AO has not disputed the discounts/deductions but vis-a- vis rental income he has observed that the same cannot be accepted since it has not been supported by the relevant documents. However, I find that a copy of the agreement with M/s Mega Corporation Ltd. has been furnished in the Paper Book. The appellant has also enclosed copy of ledger account of rental income as part of the Paper Book. Thus, it is seen that during the instant year appellant had incurred an expenditure on rent of Rs. 1,33,63,632/- out of which....
