..... which is a genuine loss calculated. Therefore, the ld. CIT(A) cannot estimate profit on the turnover. Therefore, we are of the view that the CIT(A) was not justified to make enhancement on the income of the assessee. Thus, we uphold the action of the AO regarding carry forward set off of loss as the assessee did not file his return of income within the prescribed time. Addition on account of dividend received from M/s. Sriram Chits - The authorities below were justified in making addition on this count as the dividend received was not reflected in the return of income filed by the assessee. Addition on account of interest on OD facility and interest on mortgage loan - We are of the view that once the income has been estimated on certain percentage based on the under the head income from profit and business or profession, then, other disallowances on account of expenditure cannot be made. Therefore, the AO was not justified in making further addition after estimating the income of the assessee on the turnover. Therefore, this ground is partly allowed. - ITA No. 1122/H/2019 - - - Dated:- 26-3-2021 - Satbeer Singh Godara , Member ( J ) And Laxmi Prasad Sahu , Member .....

The learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-1, Hyderabad has acted totally against the principles of natural justice in not considering the elaborate submissions made by your Appellant during the Appellate Proceedings with regard to the fact that the CIT (Appeals) could not consider a new Source of Income while exercising the power of Enhancement. 7. The learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-I, Hyderabad, has erred on fact at Paragraph No. 5.5 of the Appeal Order wherein it is stated that the Appellant invested ₹ 225.43 Crores in respect of transactions in Multi Commodity Exchange; this observation contradicts the earlier observation that the amount deposited of ₹ 43,08,600 had been invested in Multi Commodity Exchange and therefore the Order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) rests on wrong foundation and non appreciation of the Commodity exchange transactions leading to an addition of ₹ 18,00,01,632, which is unsustainable on facts and in Law. 8.

In this view, it is said that the words enhance the assessments are not confined to the assessment reached through a particular process but the amount which ought to have been computed if the true total income had been found. There is no doubt that this view is also possible. On the other hand, it must not be overlooked that there are other provisions like sections 34 and 33B, which enable escaped income from new sources to be brought to tax after following a special procedure. The assessee contends that the powers of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner extend to matters considered by the Income-tax Officer, and if a new source is to be considered, then the power of remand should be exercised. By the exercise of the power to assess fresh sources of income, the assessee is deprived of a finding by two tribunals and one right of appeal. 8.1. The AO observed that the deposits of ₹ 43,08,600/- in the banks, were invested in the business of gold and silver trading during the year under consideration. The CIT(A) has considered the deposits of amount of ₹ 43,08,600/- as unexplained investment. We are .....
