Reliance was placed on decision of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT vs. Ritu Anurag Agarwal reported in ITA No. 325/2008 and it was argued that no addition u/s 68 could be made on account of trade creditors when the books of accounts have not been rejected.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that tax rate u/s. 115BBE of the Income Tax Act increased from 30% to 60% and the same is applicable only with effect from 1st April 2017 and not prior to the same. Hence, appeal allowed to that extent.
It was argued on behalf of the revenue that tribunal was not justified in passing the order as it is an admitted fact that huge cash was deposited in the bank account of the assessee, which was totally contrary to the agreement hence provisions 69A were attracted.
It was argued on behalf of assessee that in the preceding AY, the margin of the assessee from the sale of recharge coupons was 1.75% (approx) and the same was accepted by the Department. Estimation of profit margin at 8% by AO is very much on higher side.
