The AO noticed that the assessee has purchased materials to the tune of Rs. 39,61,591/- from the parties so identified by the Sales tax department. The AO disallowed the entire amount of purchases and added the same to the income of the assessee u/s 69C of the Act. The Ld CIT(A) restricted the addition to 8% of the above said amount and hence the revenue has filed this appeal before the Tribunal. 3.
