..... naccounted purchase of finished goods - Held that:- We notice that the assessing officer has made his own computation on the basis of statement of stock given to the bank and accordingly came to the conclusion that there is unaccounted purchase of finished goods. We notice that the assessing officer did not examine the quantity details of raw materials and finished goods furnished by the assessee by referring the books of accounts. The question of making own estimate, in our view, would arise only if the AO finds faults and deficiencies in the books of account and consequently come to the conclusion that the quantity details furnished by the assessee is not reliable. Before the AO, the assessee has submitted that the stock statement furnished to the bank is a provisional one and the value shown therein was average value. We notice that the AO did not examine the said explanation at all. Thus CIT(A) was justified in coming to the conclusion that the AO has computed the value of undisclosed purchases on surmises and conjectures and justified in deleting the impugned addition relating to undisclosed purchases and accordingly we uphold the same. - I.T.A. No. 3676/Mum/2014, I.T.A. No. .....

..... nue, relief granted by the learned CIT(A) in respect of additions relating to unaccounted sales and unaccounted purchases are being challenged by the Revenue. 5. Facts relating to the above said issues are discussed in brief. The assessee is engaged in business of manufacture and sale of gold jewellery, diamond and colour stone studded jewellery. Present assessment order was passed by the Assessing Officer to give effect to the revision order passed by the learned CIT u/s. 263 of the Act. From the quantity details of raw materials furnished by the assessee, it was noticed that consumption of gold was shown at 172782.86 grams. However, the actual quantity of finished goods manufactured out of the above said gold worked out to 142578.36 grams only and the same resulted in difference of 30240.50 grams (172782.86 - 142578.36). The Assessing Officer initially took the view that the above said difference represents gold sold outside the books or it may be a case of inflation of purchases.

..... tice that the assessee filed those evidences before Ld CIT(A), but the first appellate authority declined to admit them. We notice that the AO had asked for IT return copy and financial statements of M/s Quardant Communication, to whom the assessee had paid the legal and professional fee. It is quite natural that it may take some time, since the assessee herein had to obtain those details from the above said party. Hence, in the interest of natural justice, we are of the view that the additional evidences should be admitted and this issue needs to be re-examined. Accordingly, we set aside the order passed by Ld CIT(A) on this issue and restore the same to the file of the AO with the direction to examine this issue afresh by duly considering the additional evidences and such other information and explanations that may be furnished by the assessee before him. Thereafter, the AO may take appropriate decision in accordance with the law. 11. We shall now take up the appeal filed by the revenue. The first issue relates to undisclosed sales. At the time of hearing, the Ld A.R reiterated that the difference has arisen on account of typographical error occurred in not entering the quanti .....
