..... 61 (in short 'the Act') by erstwhile Income Tax Officer, Ward- 7(1), Surat (in short "the AO"). 2. Ground no. 1 states Ld. CIT (A) has grossly erred in confirming addition of Rs. 19,90,438 being entire sale receipts deposited in cash in bank account by treating as unexplained income, without appreciating that the said receipts are not income but are the sale proceeds hence, the said addition should have been deleted and the profit on sales at Rs. 92,940 earned thereon and duly offered by the appellant needs to be accepted. 3.

..... 46 crores represents the income of the assessee. CIT(A) instead of adding 1% of Rs. 2.46 crores adopted peak credit of theory, which was also upheld by the Tribunal. No question of law arises. Tax appeal is, therefore, dismissed. 6. Per contra, the ld. Sr. D.R. vehemently relied on the orders of lower authorities. 7. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record. The perusal of bank account statement shows that the cash deposit as well as cash withdrawals in the bank account statement placed at paper book page no. 48 to 52.

President Industries [2002] 258 ITR 654 (Gujarat) wherein it was held that in the absence of any finding of the material that there was suppression of investment in acquiring the goods which are subject of undisclosed sales, Tribunal was justified in holding that entire undisclosed sales could not be treated as income of the assessee but addition could be made only to the extent of estimated profits and embedded in sales for which the net profit rate was adopted, no referable question of law arises.

Though the appellant was given an opportunity to reply on this, he did not address this issue in his reply and express inability to furnish any further information. Therefore, profit from shares was estimated at 20% of sale proceeds (cheque/transfer deposits of Rs. 13, 77, 296) Rs. 2,75, 495. 12. Being, aggrieved the assessee filed this appeal before the Tribunal. The learned counsel for the assessee contended that the profit element in shares transaction remains very low hence, the estimation @ 20% of share transaction is on higher side hence, same may be scaled down. 13.
