.... No.1 & 2 are Dismissed. Finding of NFAC on addition of Rs. 5,50,000/- 5.3 I have carefully gone through the assessment order as well as the submissions of the appellant. The appellants has given merely bland explanation in the written submission that he has contributed the cpaital by his accumulated savings and agricultural income and withdrawals made by firm from earlier years. However, no details of any such savings or income or withdrawals have been given.

Thus, the capital contributions of Rs.5,50,000/- is from unexplained sources. Consdierign the facts of the case, addition of Rs.5,50,000/- made by the AO is confirmed. Grounds of appeal No.3 is dismissed. 7. The ld. AR appearing on behalf of the assessee has placed their written submission which is extracted in below; "The assessee is an individual.

....aving bank account can be considered as his business turnover which gets support from the observation of the assessing officer for the year under ITA No. 327/Agra/2017 Asst. year : 2011-12 consideration and the AO's observation in assessment of the preceding year where on identical facts, the trading turnover of "dairy business" of the assessee, cash deposits from cash transactions has been accepted as his business turnover and the profit disclosed in the return was accepted. Likewise the Hon'ble ITAT held that the whole deposit or peak credit cannot be added in the hands of the assessee.

.... are not inclined to agree with the finding of the Ld.CIT(A) in observing that of peak cash deposits in bank account, endorsing the observation of the AO which was against the principle of 'rule of consistency' on comparison to the preceding Assessment Year and nature of retail milk business of the assessee.In our considered opinion, such deposits in the bank account would certainly constitute business turnover of the assessee and the income disclosed in the return is justified as reasonable business profit for the year under consideration. 15. In the above view and following the decision of ITAT Lucknow bench, we accept the grievance of the assessee as justified. Accordingly, the addition of Rs.33,57,510/- is deleted. Thus, the issue in grounds of appeal is allowed. 16. In the result, the appeal is allowed." "4. We have considered the rival submissions. We find that the issue in dispute was decided by learned CIT(A) as per para 8 & 9 of his order, which are reproduced below for the sake of ready reference:- "8. I have examined the facts of the case, assessment order, written submissions of appellant filed during appellate proceedings and I find that there was some forc....

.... 4.1 From the above Paras from the order of learned CIT(A), it is seen that a clear finding has been given that on perusal of the entries reflected in the said bank account, it was revealed that the cash deposits and withdrawals were made regularly during the year and therefore the Assessing Officer was not justified in making the addition of Rs.15,68,500/-. Considering these facts, learned CIT(A) has held that these receipts should be treated as turnover of the assessee from trading of cloth and has directed the Assessing Officer to make addition of profit from such turnover outside the books at gross profit rate of 13% of this turnover. Considering the facts, as discussed above that the cash deposit and withdrawal in the bank account was made regularly by the assessee during the year, it is very reasonable to say that the same was business turnover outside books and therefore, only gross profit addition is justified in the facts of the present case. Hence, we do not find any reason to interfere in the order of CIT(A) and therefore, we decline to interfere in the same. 5. In the result, the appeal of the Revenue stands dismissed." 11. We have heard the rival contentions an....
