Dhodha is a renowned sweet. It is liked by many. As mentioned on the packing boxes of Dhodha sweet of the assessee, the assessee is a gold medalist in the manufacturing of Dhodha.

..... ound that some expenses had also been debited under the head "Salary" i.e. amounting to Rs.65,472/- but no such register had been kept by the assessee. In absence of the salary register, it was difficult for the revenue to verify the payments shown to have been made as salary to certain individuals.

Similarly, for consumption of milk, sugar and other allied items, no proper books of accounts had been maintained and when the assessee was called upon to produce, neither the milk sellers of the assessee nor any books of accounts were produced. The assessee, thus, was caught nappin .....

..... s.5,60,535/- and the weight of raw-material consumed has been mentioned at 38392 Kgs. whereas in fact it works out to 38892 Kgs including opening stock etc. The weight of sweets manufactured is estimated after giving a discount of 10% on account of burning losses, pilferage, wastage and other factors like consumption of milk and milk products etc. by the assessee's employees. I am not inclined to accept the plea of the learned counsel that burning losses and wastage tantamount to 25% to 30%. Accordingly, the net weight of sweet manufactured would work out to 35003 kgs.

In view of the matter, we do not find any illegality and infirmity in the order of the CIT(A), which is a well reasoned and well discussed and hence no interference is called from our side. Hence grounds of appeal Nos.2 to 5 of the assessee having no merits are rejected and the order of the CIT(A) with regard to the sustaining of addition of Rs. .....
