It appears that the income was assessed at higher figures than the income returned because a sum of Rs. 7,500 in the first year and a sum of Rs. 9,000 in the second year had been added to the profits disclosed as per books by the assessee on an estimate of the profits made under the proviso to section 13 of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922, in respect of the assessment year 1961-62 and under section 145 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, in respect of the assessment year 1962-63. It appears that the said additions had been made because the assessee which was manufacturing hosiery articles did not have any register for the consumption of the yarn which was the raw material for manufacturing of hosiery articles nor had it m .....

The Income-tax Officer, however, passed an order under section 23A of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922, for the first year and under section 104 of the 1961 Act, for the second year directing payment of additional super-tax at 37 per cent. on the distributable incomes of Rs. 2,488.20 and Rs. 11,355, respectively. There was an appeal to the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner upheld the assessee's contention.

If in those circumstances resort had been made to the proviso to section 13 of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922, or to section 145 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, it could not be said that the assessed income in this case could not be taken into consideration in the absence of any other materials in determining the availability of the surplus for declaration of dividend. In the aforesaid view of the matter we are of the opinion that the Tribunal ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
