Assessee by : Shri Ved Jain Ms. Rano Jain, CAsn and Shri V.Mohan, Advocate. ORDER PER G.D.AGRAWAL, VP : ITA No.3543/Del/2011 is the appeal by the Revenue in which following ground is raised:- On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the ld.CIT(A) has erred in directing to work out profit by applying a G.P. rate of 4% as against 4.9% applied by the AO without appreciating that G.P. rate declared in the compa .....

At the time of hearing before us, it was pointed out by the learned counsel that at page 7 of the assessment order, the Assessing Officer has given a comparative position of immediately preceding two years from which, it is evident that the GP rate of AY 2005-06 and 2006-07 was 2.37% and 2.65% respectively, which has been accepted by the Revenue as reasonable. In this regard, he referred to the assessment order placed at pages 57 to 59 of the paper book for AY 2006-07. He also referred the four comparable cases given by the Assessing Officer at page 6 of the assessment order and stated that only compara .....

In AY 2005-06, in assessee s own case, the GP rate of 2.37% was accepted by the Revenue. In view of the totality of above facts, we do not find any justification for applicability of GP rate of 4.90%. The gross profit rate disclosed by the assessee at 3.63% is better as compared to earlier two years of assessee s case and also better than the comparable case of Sat Paul Sons quoted by the Assessing Officer for AY 2007-08. In view of the above, we do not find any justification for sustaining the part of the trading addition by applying GP rate of 4%. The same is deleted. 12.
