Case Law Details
Income Tax Officer Vs Sri Shaik Zameer (ITAT Hyderabad)
There is no reason why the cash deposits should be assessed U/s. 68 when cheque deposits were accepted as business turnover. We find the reason given by the Ld. CIT(A) in treating the entire amount as turnover is reasonable on the facts of the case. Moreover, income is also estimated as assessee has not co-operated in the proceedings. Since assessee is involved in transport business and income was determined at 10% as against 6% of the AO, we have no option than to confirm the order of CIT(A) in the appeal of Revenue. However, it should be considered that this order should not come in the way of determining the total turnover and rate of income in the case, assessee has preferred any appeal which was not brought to our notice. Subject to these observations, appeal of Revenue is dismissed.
