..... t order and the submissions of the AR of the appellant carefully. It is seen from the details filed that all the transactions are carried out through the bank account of the appellant and are reflected in the regular books of account maintained by the appellant. It is also seen that the closing balance of this bank account is reflected in the balance sheet of the appellant filed along with the audit report.
