....e of convenience. 2. First we take up the appeal of the Revenue for assessment year 200607. In this appeal, the Revenue has raised the following grounds: "1. That the Ld. CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts in allowing the relief of Rs. 6,00,000/- without appreciating that the disallowances of expenses were made as claims for deductions made by assessee on account of expenses could not be substantiated by him. 2. That the Ld. CIT(A) has erred in law and in facts in holding that disallowances made were merely guesswork when CIT(A) himself has held that disallowance of expenses was called for establishing thereby that the assessee had filed inaccurate particulars and concealed its income. 3. That the Ld. CIT(A) ....

It is also noted in the penalty order that the CIT(A), Kanpur after considering the facts of the case has restricted the disallowance to 5% of direct expenses which was worked out at Rs. 16 lac.

Hence, we decline to interfere in the order of CIT(A). 5. In the result, the ap....

But CIT(A) has not decided this aspect i.e. rejection of books of account aspect and he has decided the issue on the basis that he has asked the assessee to prepare a chart of expenditure incurred in absolute numbers as well as in percentage terms for the current year and also the preceding year.

Thus, there remains some amount of expenditure which is unverifiable. The onus is always on the assessee to prove the factum of expenditure with sufficient proof and evidences. In this view of the matter, I am of the considered view that a lump-sum disallowance of Rs. 5 lakhs in this regard would meet the end of justice. 3.2....
