Thus we are satisfied that excess stock has been worked out by the ld. Assessing Officer on the basis of an erroneous mathematical exercise. This stock has been worked out not on account of particular items, rather on account of valuation difference, which has been worked out by appreciating two different Softwares for the purpose of book stock, vis-a-vis actual stock and if some exercise is being carried out in this manner, then difference is bound to happen. The ld. Assessing Officer failed to appreciate this aspect during the assessment proceedings, when it was duly explained by the assessee. We have made reference to Closing Stock for A.Y. 2012-13 simply for the reason that these details are not being put up before us as a consequence to the survey, rather these details were put up before the Revenue prior to the survey. Therefore, in our opinion, addition is not sustainable. We allow this ground of appeal and delete the addition of Rs.44,06,108/- made to the income of the assessee on account of unexplained excess stock. 10. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed. Order pronounced in ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
