....O made the addition of Rs. 9,02,200/- in the hands of the assessee. He further submitted that the Ld. CIT(A) has wrongly confirmed this addition because the AO has incorrectly picked up the figures of Rs. 2,45,290/- as against Rs. 7,02,030/- appearing in the books of the asessee. He draw our attention towards Assessee's Paper Book (APB) Pages 127 to 134 and stated that nothing is adverse against the assessee as pointed out by the AO. He further stated that regarding the difference of Rs. 4,45,460/- does not belong to the assessee which was completely ignored by the AO and the Ld. CIT(A) and wrongly made/confirmed the addition.

....company are audited as per law and nothing adverse had been pointed by the AO as well as Ld. CIT(A) and the same is not rejected u/s. 145 of the Act, therefore, addition on account of bogus purchase cannot be made. In support of his contention, he cited the decision in the case of Manoj Sharma vs. ITO, Ward 39(5), New Delhi (2019) 103 taxmann.com 105 (Delhi Trib); CIT vs,. Nikunj Eximp Enterprises (P) Ltd.

....with return of income which assessee has attached at Paper Book page 162 to 229 which clearly shows that the certain parties have supplied the material to the assessee company and the purchases made by the assessee are genuine. Even otherwise, keeping in view of the documentary evidences filed by the assessee company before the AO and the Ld. CIT(A) and even before us, we are of the view that the AO has not doubted the sale made by the assessee in the absence of the same, disallowance on account of purchases cannot be made. Secondly, the AO has not rejected the books of account as required under section 145 of the I.T. Act, therefore, the addition on account of purchases cannot be made. As stated by the Ld. Counsel for the assessee that the proof of the documentary evidences at page no. 253 to 265, the assessee company was assessed u/s. 143(3) of the Act in the subsequent years and no such addition has been made by the AO in those years. Keeping in view of the facts and circumstances of the case as discussed above, we are of the view that the addition in dispute is not sustainable in the eyes of law and hence, we delete the addition in dispute made on account of purchases from the ....

....1 We note that PB 136-143 is the copy of profit and loss account and trading account of earlier years together with assessment orders u/s 143(3) in which G.P. at the rate of 3.52%,4.13%, 2.99%, 2.-9%,2.60%,2:21 %, 1.88% for Financial years 2007-08,2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 respectively has been accepted (PB 17). 6.12 Wit00ut prejudice to above, the assessee's sale was Rs. 6.21 Crores as is evident form profit and loss account enclosed at PB 13 and assessed income is at Rs. 3.54 Crores as is evident from the last page of the assessment order which would constitute 56% of the sale which is impossible and against all norms. 7. In view of above discussions, it is clear that the transactions were not bogus and therefore, the case laws relied upon by the Ld. OR are not applicable in this case. As far as case law relied upon by the Ld. CIT(A) as well as relied by the Ld. OR during the hearing i.e. La Medica (supra), we note that Hon'ble High Court has specifically noted in this decision that this was not the case of the assessee at any stage prior to the Hon 'ble High Court whereas in this case, this was the plea taken by assessee before Ld. CI....

....the books are unexplained or outside books of account, is very difficult proposition to accept. Because, the quantitative details of stock, purchases, sales have not been discarded or any defect has been found, then purchases as debited in the books of accounts cannot be added u/s 69C. Here in this case, even balancing figure of the gross profit shown by the assessee has not disturbed. Even if it is to be accepted that the purchases made from the three parties were in the nature of accommodation entries, then it has to be seen, firstly, whether these purchases have been made outside books or does not matches with the quantitative tally; or secondly, whether such bills have been obtained merely to suppress the gross profit. Ostensibly, the first reason is lacking here in this case as discussed above; and in so far as the second reasoning is concerned, one has to examine, if purchases have been made through cheques, the source of which are from the books account and if later on, cash has been received in lieu of such cheque but no purchases have been made, then clearly there would be a difference in quantitative tally of purchases as well as in the stock an such a discrepancy has bee....
