..... eted addition - Held that:- It is pertinent to note that the books of account maintained by the assessee have not been rejected. No defect has also been pointed out by the AO with respect to the books of account. No discrepancies with regard to shortage affecting the yield were also pointed out by the AO. Thus addition made by the AO based on 2% shortage cannot be sustained. Addition u/s 69B for stock difference - CIT(A) deleted addition - Held that:- CIT(A) deleted the addition since the AO could not find any defect in the stock statement arrived at on the basis of physical verification.

..... AO on very weak grounds. The basis given by AO for making disallowance that shortage of goods on account of job workers is not an acceptance theory, higher shortage leads to higher sale price of finished goods and only sample bills were produced by appellant, are again superficial and flimsy grounds. As per chart given in the submissions, appellant has shown better results in the form of turnover, gross profit and net profit in comparison to earlier year. The books of account maintained by appellant have not been rejected and accepted by AO as complete and without any error. No defects have been pointed out by AO in those books of account. In plethora of judgments, different courts and tribunals have held that unless the books of account of assessee are rejected, no estimation can be made. The normal shortage worked out by AO from 15% to 17% in this line of business is based on which details are not made clear by AO. Such details are not confronted to appellant which is clearly violation of natural justice. Why only 2% of shortage has been disallowed, it is not made clear by AO. The major part of job work has been carried out by outside parties to whom payments have been made acco .....
