.....35%. The A.O. asked the reasons to the assessee for downfall in the yield and production for the year under consideration in comparison to the previous years. The ld AR has submitted that the assessee has duly explained the reasons for low yield for the year under consideration in comparison to the earlier years and since the difference is very negligible and in some cases less than .5%, therefore, the explanation of the assessee ought to have been accepted when no contrary fact was found by the A.O. He has further submitted that the ld. CIT(A) has restricted the addition to Rs. 3.00 lacs without any basis or justification, therefore, the ad hoc addition sustained by the ld. CIT(A) is not justified and the same may be deleted. Alternatively, the ld. AR has submitted that when the A.O. has not rejected the books of account of the assessee then no trading addition can be made on the basis of estimation. In support of his contention, he has relied on the following decisions: (i) CIT Vs Maharaja Shree Umaid Mills Ltd. 192 ITR 565 (Raj) (ii) Pr.CIT Vs Bhawani Silicate Industries (2015) 93 CCH 0419 (Raj).

....books of accounts along with various ledgers and journals. The purchase, sales and expenses were fully vouched & verifiable and these facts were also accepted by the AO. The AO had invoked the provisions of section 145(3) and issued a show cause notice after noticing discrepancies such as non maintenance of stock register, production registers, inward registers outward registers etc. but also considered the written submission of the appellant and had not rejected the books of account at all u/s 145(3). In a similar issue, The Hon'ble High Court, Rajasthan in the case of Malani Ramjivan Jagannath vs. ACIT 20T CTR (Raj) 19 held as under:- "In doing so, it had ignored all admitted facts in the face of which there about the sales and purchases, non maintenance of stock register lost its significance so far as arriving at GP rate is concerned."

....truck appearing in the fixed assets of the assessee and further no documentary evidence has been furnished by the assessee in support of the claim. On appeal, the assessee has submitted that the loss on sale of vehicle is in fact not the loss incurred on sale but due to clerical mistake, it is shown under wrong head. It was submitted that it is an expenditure incurred on transportation of the goods delivered at the doorsteps of the buyer, hence, this figure represents the delivery charges in the shape of diesel and other related expenses which were incurred on the trucks. The ld. CIT(A) did not find any merits in this explanation of the assessee when the assessee has not produced any documentary evidence or no such trucks were hired by the assessee either from the partners or any other party. 8. We have heard the ld AR as well as the ld DR and considered the relevant material on record. The ld. AR of the assessee has reiterated his contention as raised before the ld. CIT(A). The ld. CIT(A) has considered this issue in para 9.2 as under: "9.2. I have considered the assessment order, appellant's submissions and documents on record. During the course of assessment proc....

....A.O. has disallowed 10% of the telephone expenses on the ground that the assessee did not maintain any call register and in absence thereof, personal element cannot be ruled out. Once the telephone expenses are verifiable from the telephone bills itself then this cannot be a case of unverifiable expenses. Further the personal element is only suspected by the A.O. and not found. Even otherwise, when the telephones are used in the business premises of the assessee and the expenses are verifiable from the telephone bills itself then the same cannot be disallowed on mere suspicion. Similarly, the travelling expenses were also disallowed as 10% on the ground of personal element. The A.O. has not doubted the expenditure incurred by the assessee and if the expenses are not found to be excessive having regard to the nature of business and volume of business of the assessee then such an ad hoc disallowance on personal element is not justified. In case of building repair and maintenance expenses, the A.O. has made 10% disallowance on account of non-verifiability of the expenses as the same were paid in cash and supported with self-made vouchers. Since this expenditure was incurred i....
