Disallowance under section 43B of the IT Act Deletion of Gross Profit addition: The Revenue appealed against the deletion of Gross Profit (GP) addition of Rs.23,86,074. The CIT(A) had deleted the addition, emphasizing that the appellant maintained records and had submitted a detailed reply. The appellant argued that the books of account were reliable, audited, and accepted by other departments. The A.O. did not identify any defects in the books of account. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, noting that the GP rate was reasonable, and dismissed the Revenue's appeal. Deletion of stock difference addition: The A.O. added Rs.7,65,000 as stock difference found during a survey. The CIT(A) deleted this addition based on entries in the books of account. The Revenue contended that the appellant retracted from the disclosure made during the survey.

Deletion of unaccounted scrap sales addition: The A.O. added Rs.3,50,000 on account of unaccounted scrap sales. The CIT(A) deleted this addition as the appellant had included the amount in the income, supported by entries in the books. The Revenue argued that the appellant retracted from the disclosure. The Tribunal found that the scrap sale was included in the P&L account, leading to increased profits. The addition was justified, and the CIT(A)'s decision was upheld. Depreciation claim on boiler: The appellant claimed depreciation on a boiler at Rs.1,00,103, which the A.O. disallowed. The CIT(A) confirmed the disallowance. The Tribunal directed the A.O. to verify the payment of PPF amount within the due date of filing the return, setting aside the matter for further verification.
