The assessee is an individual engaged in the business of civil contracting. With regard to the expenditure on stone/khadi purchased, the Assessing Officer noticed that the expenditure claimed of ₹ 15,67,270/- was not fully supported by independent vouchers and he accordingly disallowed 10% of the same, i.e. ₹ 1,56,727/-.
