..... bring any defect in the submission of the assessee. In the case of deviation of the Accounting standard the AO should have rejected the books of accounts but he chose not to do so. CIT(A) has correctly deleted the addition made by the AO by observing that the method of valuation adopted by the assessee is consistent. It cannot be rejected merely because it will hamper the revenue. AO has not found any actual defect in the valuation of closing stock. AO has not found any defect in the books of accounts.

Closing stock 5584 pcs Rs.1,10,95,279/- It was observed by the AO that the qualitative analysis of the stock has not furnished, therefore the cost of each item of the stock cannot be determined. Accordingly the AO applied the average pricing method and worked out cost of the goods sold on the basis of per saree which comes to ₹ 1516.45 (2,86,30,758/- 18880 =1516.45).

From the aforesaid discussion we find that the AO raised the issue for the undisclosed sale due to non-availability of information with regard to the quantitative details of the opening stock, purchases and sales, closing stock along with their respective values in the tax audit report. During the proceedings the details were furnished by the assessee but the AO rejected the same and worked out the undisclosed sale as discussed above.

The true meaning of the word building' means the land upon which some construction has been made. The two must necessarily go together. From the above details it is clear that the facts are different with the instant case. Similar facts were there in the case of DCIT Vs Capital Car Private Limited reported. However we find that on similar facts where the rates of the building are composite with the land then the Hon,ble Tribunal of Bangalore has decided the issue in favour of the assessee in the case of CIT Vs.
