..... had been received this year and, therefore, this has to be treated as part of income and accordingly added the sum of Rs. 36, 04,904/- in the total income, on the ground that if this amount was excluded from the sundry debtors, the asset side in the balance sheet will be more than the liability side by that amount. 2.1 The assessee disputed the decision of AO and submitted before CIT (A) that the assessee was following mercantile system of accounting consistently and the amounts received against display charges had been shown in the books as advance and the sale is shown only on actual execution of the hoarding display at various sites. The amount received was only in respect of the advances received in the month of March in respect of which actual hoarding display was done after 31st march 2007 and the income was declared in the next year.

We see no infirmity in the order of CIT (A) in deleting the addition and the same is therefore upheld. 4. The second dispute is regarding addition on account of cash expenditure. The AO on examination of cash memos noted that the assessee had made two payments i.e. 2, 80,000/- and fifty thousand any cash which exceeded Rs.20 thousand in each case. The Assessing Officer also noted that the assessee had claimed expenses of Rs.9,166/-, Rs. 4,680/-, and Rs.1,23,074/-, aggregating to Rs.1,36,920/- pertaining to the previous year which according to him was not allowable. As regards the cash expenses. The AO also observed that the assessee explained that there was no violation of section 40 A(3) and, therefore, the AO treated the cash payments of Rs. 3,35,000/-(wrongly mentioned as Rs. 1,55,000/- in the order) as made outside books of accounts. The AO thus, made total addition of Rs.4,71,920/- (wrongly mentioned as 2,91,920/-) i.e. Rs. 3,35,000+1,36,920. 4.1 The assessee disputed the decision of AO and submitted before CIT(A) that there were no expenses incurred outside the books of accounts as t .....
