The learned CIT(A) should not have accepted the assessee s version that the sale proceeds pertaining to HUF are deposited with assessee s bank account, hence, the same are to be treated as unaccounted sales and only G.P. u/s.44AF to be taken for tax purpose. 3. The learned CIT(A) has not appreciated the fact that the pass book entries are not self explanatory about the alleged purchases and sale, hence, the cash deposits should not have been treated as the deposits of sales. 2.1.

There is no evidence on record except the statement of the appellant with regard to the nature of business carried on by him and the details relating to the computation of income. The appellant has filed return of income on 13.08.2009 declaring income of ₹ 1,76,660/- u/s.44AF in respect of the transactions appearing in this bank a/c.
