Counsel for the assessee contended that the impugned addition is the off-shoot of e-filing of return and nothing wrong has been claimed. 3. We have considered the rival submissions and perused the material available on record. In view of the assertion made by the learned respective counsel, we are reproducing hereunder the findings recorded by the learned CIT(A) which has not been controveted by the Revenue :- 1.1 I have carefully considered the submissions made on behalf of the appellant with reference to the facts obtaining from the record.
