....d CIT appeal on an appeal by the appellant against the order of the income tax offer had erred in by estimating the Appellant profit from business & profession at 8%. Reasons assigned by him doing the same are wrong and insufficient, regards being had to the facts and the circumstances of the case, the said estimation is on the higher side. 2.

....he expenses incurred, etc. Under these circumstances the AO called upon the assessee to furnish proper evidence and despite number of opportunities the assessee has not furnished the details. The AO proceeded to reject the book results and estimated the profit. He observed, in para 4.3, that the assessee has shown receipts of commission from sale of milk at ₹ 6.94 lakhs.

The learned CIT(A) observed that the assessee having filed four different sets of final accounts giving four different versions of his taxable/ business income, rejection of book results is justified. Even otherwise the assessee has not furnished supporting bills/invoices in respect of the expenses claimed therein.

The AO could have given some reasons to estimate the turnover, which was not done in the instant case. The turnover having been accepted by the AO as well as the CIT(A), the margin which was permitted as per the circular cannot vary and hence the estimation of profit at 8% is excessive. 8. On the other hand, the learned D.R. strongly submitted that the assessee has given different versions at different points of time which prompted the AO to reject the books of account and to estimate the profit. It was also submitted that in the immediately preceding year the asse....
