The Assessing Officer estimated the same at ₹ 30,000/- per month and, accordingly, made the addition of ₹ 83,510/- (3,60,000 - 2,76,490). 10. At the time of hearing before us, it is stated by the learned counsel that the expenditure disclosed by the assessee is quite fair and reasonable and the Assessing Officer has brought on record no evidence that the assessee incurred more expenditure than what was debited in the books of account.
