The only reason stated by the AO is that he does not rule out any scrap being generated out of machinery repairs. This observation is not supported by specific enquiry and also that the Assessing Officer had not even examined the nature of repairs undertaken to the machinery and whether in fact such nature of repairs has the capacity to generate scrap, also does not come out from his order.
