..... urnished by assessee at paper book page no 13. Therefore the main reason for lower gross profit is also the reasons of the debit of unaccounted purchases by the assessee to the profit and loss account.

..... in turn deleted the addition to whole of the turnover to restrict it to sales made to sister concern of ₹ 5022546/- and applied ratio 6% confirming the addition of ₹ 301352/- . Against this the assessee is in appeal before us. 4. The ld AR reiterated the submission made before the lower authorities and the ld DR supported the orders of the AO and ld CIT(A). 5. We have carefully considered the rival contentions. The ld CIT(A) has dealt with this issue at Para 3.2 to 3.4 of his appellant order as under:- 3.2 I have considered the facts of the case and gone through the submissions of the appellant. The Issue to be decided relates to the fall in profitability, more precisely, the drop In, GP rate from 30.29% in the pre-survey period to 24.29% during the post survey period. When the post survey transactions are analyzed in detail, it is found that the fall in GP is primarily on account of the fact that the appellant hardly earned any gross profit in the sale of plain cloth made to its sister concern amounting to ₹ 50,00,000/- in the post survey period. If this transaction is excluded, the GP rate in the pre and post survey period comes to almost the same, i. .....

..... ich a certain variety of cloth was sold to sister concern was 20% to 30% lower than the prices at which the same cloth was sold to un-related parties. Thus, this clearly shows that even in pre survey period there is a 20% to. 30% price differential between sister concern and un-related parties. Even after substantiating this point, the appellant has not ruled out a slightly higher price differential in the post survey period between sister concerns and unrelated parties by submitting that 4% higher price differential can be considered on the sale of plain cloth in the post survey period amounting to ₹ 2,00,000/-. 3.4 Thus, by way of these arguments, backed up statistics/supports, the appellant has been able to substantiate the price differential between pre and post survey period, as regards sale of cloth to its sister concern. However, since the appellant has not been able to explain the entire price differential, and did not rule out the possibility of the price differential being higher in post survey period, J hold that if during the post survey period the appellant had continued getting the same GP from its sister concern as it was getting pre survey period, the gro .....

..... owever same was disallowed by the ld AO applying provision of section 69C of the Act stating that any unexplained expenses which are deemed to be the income of the assessee shall not be allowed as deduction under any head of income. On appeal before the ld CIT(A) he also confirmed the decision of ld. AO holding that provision of section 69C are clear and relying upon the decision of the Hon. Gujarat High Court in case of Fakir Mohmed Haji Hsasan Vs. CIT (2001) 247 ITR 290 (Gujarat). Against this the assessee is in appeal before us. 8. The ld AR of the appellant claimed that provision of section 69C have wrongly been applied to the facts of the case and decision of Hon ble Gujarat High Court is also not applicable for the reasons that that it is a case of survey and assessee has owned income during the course of survey proceedings. Therefore there is no applicability section 69C of the Act. Further the addition on account of unaccounted building shall be on account of section 69B and not section 69C of the act.

The ld DR relied on the orders of lower authorities and submitted that the disclosure has been made by the assessee on account of repair and maintenance explained u/s 69C of the Act and therefore deduction cannot be allowed. 12. We have carefully considered the disclosure made by the assessee. In fact assessee has offered income of ₹ 5 crore by crediting this sum as other income and showed in schedule 12 of the profit and loss account. Simultaneously the assessee has debited ₹ 40 lacs in the profit and loss account under the head repair and maintenance expenditure at schedule 16. According to this assessee has agreed the income to credit of profit and loss account and simultaneously debited the expenditure to the profit and loss account and thus nullifying the amount of disclosure made by the assessee. Obviously the disclosure made by the assessee is on account of repairs of show room amounting to ₹ 40 lacs.
