However, no straight jacket formula can be applied in such case, therefore, direct the assessing officer to restrict the addition to the extent of 25% of Rs. 48 lacs.

Brief facts of the case qua the remaining sole ground of appeal is that the assessee is a builder and developer, filed its return of income for the A.Y. 2011-12 on 24/09/2011 declaring NIL income. Return of income was processed and accepted under Section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short, the Act) on 13/01/2012.

And in alternative the assessee submits that estimate profit on on money (cash money) may be added instead of taxing entire on money as income. I find that the assessing officer has not investigated the facts if the assessee returned part of cash component to Bhajiyawala Group or not nor verified if remaining of Rs. 21 lacs were offered in the subsequent year or not. The assessing officer has brought the entire amount to tax under section 68.
