The difference between document price and the actual price received by the firm was not accounted for in the regular books of accounts. The said unaccounted amount represents 41% of the total value of the flats booked/sales. Applying the ratio on gross receipt of 4,54,41,000/- as disclosed by the assessee in the return of income, the unaccounted on-money cash received by the assessee was worked out at Rs. 3,15,77,644/- which was added to the total income of the assessee.

No clinching evidence of receipt of on-money on the entire sales made by the appellant is found in the absence of which extrapolation of income simply based on few flimsy instances is not sustainable. On this aspect we have considered several judgments passed by the different Benches including the Coordinate Benches in the case of M/s. Amar Corporation in ITA No. 2041/Ahd/2007 dated 31.03.2011 on an identical fact there was no material found in the possession of the Ld. AO which could conclusively demonstrate that in respect of the other flats the assessee had in fact charged "on-money" from the custom....
