....ourse of the assessment proceedings which included the list of faculty, training program, course material and supporting bills etc. It was further submitted that the AO has not pointed out any specific error or mistake in the details submitted by the assessee. It was further argued that the AO is making a general observation ignoring the facts and the evidences on record. It was also submitted that all the details and information were available at the time of survey also and it is not the case of the assessing officer that the books of accounts and other details were not available at the time of survey. In fact survey report if any has not been shared or confronted to the assessee at any time. It was also submitted that no incriminating material or evidence what so ever was found during the course of the survey.

(ITA NO. 3699/Del/2015) (AY 2011-12) vide order dated 31.10.2018 whereby we have held that this addition is unsustainable on the ground that the assessee having included the service charges in its income, the same amount cannot be added again.

Accordingly following the reasoning given in our order dated 31.10.2018 in the case of ACIT vs. Piron Education Pvt.

....e deletion of addition of Rs. 4,65,000/- made by AO on account of unexplained cash credits. The Assessing officer has made the addition on the ground that Assessee Company has deposited cash in its bank accounts. It was agreed by both the parties that this issue is identical to the issue in the case of M/s Piron Education Pvt. Ltd. (ITA NO. 3699/Del/2015) (AY 2011-12) where the Assessing Officer has made similar addition on the same reasoning. In the said appeal in the case of M/s Piron Education Pvt. Ltd. we have held that the addition is unsustainable as the cash deposited is as per the books of accounts being regularly maintained by the assessee and such cash in books of accounts represents the fee receipt from the students which has been included in the income. Since the facts are identical following our order and the reasoning in the above said order we uphold the order of the Ld. CIT(A) deleting this addition. And this ground is dismissed. 9.
