The assessee is directed to produce the said books of account along with supporting documentary evidence for verification of the Assessing Officer. AO is also directed to verify another contention raised by the ld. counsel for the assessee that the stock during the course of survey was wrongly valued at selling price instead of cost price.

Thereafter, the return of income for the year under consideration was filed by the assessee on 28-05-2013 declaring total income of ₹ 22,73,877/-. In the said return, the additional income of ₹ 15,48,088/- surrendered during the course of survey, however, was not disclosed by the assessee. In this regard, it was explained by the assessee that the net profit of Nirmala Concrete Products in the absence of books of account was estimated at ₹ 12,19,529/- and since the same was disclosed in the return of income filed for the year under consideration, no separate addition on account of alleged excess stock co .....

In the assessment as well as appellate proceedings, the appellant has also not reconciled as to how the excess stock was recorded in the books of accounts and arrived at the net profit. The discrepancy or excess stock of Rs. 15,48,088/- found in survey action on 03.04.2012 was not recorded in the books of accounts for FY. 2011-12 relevant to A.Y. 2012-13, therefore, the appellant cannot say that, the excess stock is included in the net profit for A.Y. 2012-13, since the survey date i. .....

CIT(A), the assessee has preferred this appeal before the Tribunal. 4. I have heard the arguments of both sides and perused the material available on record. It is observed that excess stock allegedly found during the course of survey to the extent of ₹ 15,48,088/- was accepted as unexplained by the assessee in his statement recorded during the course of survey and he also agreed to surrender the same as his additional income for the year under consideration i.e. A.Y. 2012-13.

DR on the other hand has submitted that the submission now being made by the ld. counsel for the assessee before the Tribunal was not specifically made before the Assessing Officer during the course of assessment proceedings or even before the ld. CIT(A) during the course of appellate proceedings. He has pointed out from the assessment order that there is no mention about any books of account of M/s. Nirmala Concrete Products prepared and produced by the assessee for the verification of Assessing Officer and there is also no finding recorded by the Assessing Officer on verification of such books of account. In reply to a query raised by the Bench, he however, has accepted that the comparison between stock found during th ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
