..... was filed on 29.01.2007 declaring income at Rs.3,30,470/-. The gross turnover declared for the year was Rs.1,21,03,459/- as per the return and corresponding TDS certificates were filed. The assessee estimated the profit @ 8% availing the benefit of presumptive taxation u/s 44AD. It is claimed that no books of account were maintained, hence audit report under section 44AB was not filed. The Assessing Officer did not believe the submissions of the assessee and observed that there was no reason and sufficient cause for not maintaining regular books of account even after the search operation carried out on the assessee group on 23.12.2002. He also recorded the statement under section 131 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 of one Shri Baljeet Singh Bak .....

..... justified and has erred in confirming with reference to provisions of sec 144 and 184(v) the disallowance made by Ld AO of a sum of Rs.3,07,811/- being the amount of salaries paid to partners by observing "that the same is disallow to cover up the possible leakages of revenue and for violation of provision of sec 44aa of IT Act". The addition / disallowance is being erroneous and untenable be kindly deleted. 4.

..... icipal Corporation with whom the assessee was working and there was no concrete explanation in this regard. The only reliance of the ld. AR was that once profit has been estimated @ 8% on the total sales of the assessee then no addition can be made under section 68 or 69 of the Income-tax Act. Ld. AR also pleaded that these may be included in the turnover of the assessee and only profit element can be taxed as an income. We are unable to agree with the pleadings of the AR. Once these credits appeared in the bank account of the assessee it was on the assessee to explain the source of these credits. The assessee cannot be granted relief only on the basis that these may be refund of the securities that were pledged with the Nagar Nigam, Meerut .....

..... ked against the assessee for framing the ex parte assessment order. Subsection (5) of section 184 is an exception to Rule and would clearly disentitle the assessee for claiming deduction by way of salary and remuneration etc. in case the assessee made a failure as provided under section 144. Similarly, the assessee also failed to prove other ingredients of section 184 before the Assessing Officer. 9. We have heard both the sides on this issue. The Assessing Officer made the addition by disallowing the amount of salary paid to the partners to cover up the possible leakages of revenue and for violation of provisions of section 44AA of the Act. The assessee s case was not covered by the provisions of section 44AD of the Act, hence Assessing .....
