..... ssessee s books of accounts could be made particularly since the net profit was uniformly applied at 8% as an estimation. Adjust the TDS or refund back the same even though the said amount was deposited during the assessment year 2005-06 - HELD THAT:- CIT (A) directed the AO to withdraw the credit given for TDS . The ITAT while agreeing with the finding of the CIT (A) ought to have been to permit the Assessee to adjust the amount so paid or ordered it to be refunded to the Assessee. There is no explanation why this was not done. Learned counsel for the Department also could not support the above failure of the CIT(A) as well as the ITAT to issue such a direction.

The ITAT has, in fact, upheld the order of the CIT(A).
