The assessee company is engaged in the business of construction work. The Assessing Officer applied provisions of section 145 of the Act and computed the total income at 5% of turnover and levied penalty u/s 271(1) (c) of the Act.
The facts of the case are that the assessee is a partnership firm and the Assessing Officer noticed that the debit balance in the partners’ account was more than the credit balance. He, therefore, charged the interest on the net debit balance of partners at the rate of 12% and accordingly made the addition of 20,61,845/-
In the present case it is apparent that on the date of search be on 12/09/2007, the assessments for assessment year 2004-05 & 2005-06 were already completed. There was no incriminating material found during search for these years as is apparent from arguments of Ld.
Amount of advance given to M/s Dhillon Kool Drinks and Beverages Limited was advanced in the course of business. It is undisputed that the advances became irrecoverable. In such situation, as per the ratio emanating from the decision of the Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case
In the case on hand, the issue of taxability of stock option is not in dispute as the assessee himself has offered the same to tax while filing his return of income. The only issue is the amount that can be brought to tax in India.

AO has not made any discussion regarding the subjects raised by the Ld. CIT u/s. 263 and the AO has mechanically accepted what the assessee wanted him to accept without any application of mind or enquiry. Further, no evidence had been placed that the claim made by assessee was objectively
Addition u/s 68 of the Act was made by the Assessing Officer when the assessee himself offered to include this amount in his total income and consented to pay the tax. Another addition of Rs. 1 lakh was also made when the assessee voluntarily preferred to include Rs. 1 lakh to his total income.
Facts apropos are that assessee, a firm of Chartered Accountants, filed its return for impugned assessment year on 30th September, 2008, declaring a total income of ~ 17,70,69,972/-. The assessment was completed on 31st December, 2010 under Section 143(3) of the Act
Contention of the Assessee :- The alleged Pen drive is not an admissible evidence, therefore the recording of reasons and consequent 148 proceedings based on the reasons of such unreliable evidence are bad in law.
