From the perusal of the same, we find that there is a credit balance as against the debit balance noted of the assessment order.

During the assessment proceedings, the assessee filed the details in respect of sundry creditors. To examine the genuineness of the creditors, notices under section 133(6) of the Act were randomly issued to certain parties. Out of the few parties to whom the notice under section 133(6) of the Act was issued, replies from certain parties were not received. It was further observed from a few replies received in response to the notice issued under section 133(6) of the Act that the opening and closing balance does not match with the details provided by the assessee and parties.

In the present case, it is evident from the record that in order to examine the genuineness of the creditors as appearing in the books of the assessee. Notices under section 133(6) of the Act were issued. It is further evident from the record that during the assessment proceedings in respect of 10 creditors, as noted in the foregoing paragraph, due to no response from these parties to the notices issued under section 133(6) of the Act, the assessee was asked to provide the confirmation and bank statement along with their ITR.
