In the absence of said enquiry addition cannot be made only on the basis of loose sheets. The loose sheets which were taken the base for addition by the Assessing Officer have not been corroborated by any further evidence. Therefore, the addition made by the Assessing Officer based on the loose sheets should be deleted. 7. On the other hand, the ld. DR for the Revenue has primarily reiterated the stand taken by the Assessing Officer which we have already noted in our earlier para and is not being repeated for the sake of brevity. 8. We have given a careful consideration to the rival submissions and perused the materials available on record, we note that a survey u/s 133A was conducted at assessee's premises on 19.02.2013.
