..... at although such working was stated to be filed by the assessee showing the relevant transactions for the period 01.09.2007 to 14.09.2007 before the ld. CIT(Appeals), there is no such specific mention in the order of the Assessing Officer about the said working having been filed by the assessee. Although the ld. CIT(Appeals) has brushed aside the said working by treating the same as an after-thought, we are of the view that the said working prepared and furnished by the assessee to reconcile the difference in stock as taken by the Assessing Officer of different dates, i.e. 01.09.2007 and 14.09.2007 is relevant and it should be considered and verified before making any addition on account of the alleged shortage of stock.

CIT(Appeals) on this issue and dismiss the Ground of the appeal of assessee.

..... hat the reconciliation prepared and furnished by the assessee was held to be an after-thought by the ld. CIT(Appeals) and the addition made by the Assessing Officer on account of shortage of stock found during the course of survey was confirmed by him. It is, however, observed that the physical inventory of stock was prepared at the time of survey carried out on 14.09.2007, while the stock taken by the Assessing Officer to work out the shortage of stock, was as per the books of account of the assessee, which were incomplete as the same were not written for the period 01.09.2007 to 14.09.2007.
