..... irmed by the Director had been later retracted on 01/10/2015 by the Director by filing an affidavit which are enclosed. But we find that the Director in his original statement had given a complete modus operandi of generation of unaccounted income and its utilization in his various businesses. Hence, the source as well as the application of unaccounted income had been discussed in detail in the statement recorded from the Director. We find that the only evidence that has been found in the course of survey by the survey team was excess cash found in the sum of ₹ 7,51,327/- based on the cash books in the months of July, August and September 2015 which admittedly pertains to A.Y.2016-17. CIT(A) had considered ₹ 7.5 Lakhs as the .....

..... e made in cash. In response thereto, the cashier responded that the sale amount of scrap is generated by sale of scrap by the assessee to M/s. Paresh Textiles, in support of which he gave the sample copies of tax invoices which are part of loose sheets in pages 61-64 of Annexure A-1 of impounded documents. It is pertinent to note that the scrap sale is liable for levy of excise duty. Survey team also asked the difference of ₹ 7,51,327/- in cash balance on the date of survey between the physical cash balance found and the cash balance as per the books of accounts. This was sought to be explained by the cashier by stating that the excess cash found physically was due to certain scrap sales made out of the books by the assessee which .....

Accordingly, he estimated the total scrap sale to be ₹ 30 Lakhs for A.Y.2015-16 and from that, reduced the scrap sales already accounted by the assessee and ma .....

..... ion could at all be made in the facts and circumstances of the instant case on an estimated basis. It is pertinent to note that against the addition made by the ld. CIT(A) on estimated basis, no appeal has been preferred by the revenue before us. Hence, what remains to be adjudicated by us is whether the estimation of scrap sale was made in a just and fair manner by the ld.
