Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Sargam Talkies (refer to supra) clearly shows that in absence of rejection of books of account maintained by the assessee in respect of cost of construction, no addition on estimate basis can be made.

In the circumstances, we are of the view that in view of principle laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Sargam Talkies (refer to supra), no addition is called for in the hands of the assessee. In the circumstances, the addition of Rs. 1 lakh as confirmed by the learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) stands deleted.
Hon’ble Bombay High Court in Amitabh Bachan Corporation Ltd.,(supra) held that whether an expenditure was on revenue account or capital account is required to be examined in the light of the totality of all facts for this purpose.
