..... hat the survey team had relied upon a brown loose-leaf diary, which, according to him, does not constitute corroborative evidence. However, this contention is not tenable, as the diary reflects actual receipts from CT scans, X-rays, and OPD services. There exists a discrepancy of Rs. 85,88,540 between the figures recorded in the diary and those reflected in the books of accounts produced during the survey. b. Examination of the regular books of account clearly indicates that the assessee failed to disclose income amounting to Rs. 85,88,540. c. Furthermore, the partner of the assessee's firm admitted under oath during the survey proceedings that the amount of Rs. 85,88,540 represented undisclosed business income. d. The assessee also claimed that the figures noted in the brown diary were merely tentative projections of gross receipts prepared for the purpose of availing loans from various financial institutions. The assessee intended to expand the business by introducing an IPD unit, additional X-ray machines, and pathology testing equipment, all requiring increased working and fixed capital. It was submitted that the assessee was already availing a LAP loan facility from Kota .....

..... e Hon'ble ITAT dismiss the assessee's appeal on this issue and uphold the assessment of the said amount as the assessee's income. This would be in the interest of justice, revenue, and parity with numerous precedents dealing with tax evasion uncovered in surveys." 6. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material available on record. During the course of the survey proceedings, the assessee declared an amount of Rs. 85,88,540/- as undisclosed income. However, during the assessment proceedings and also before this Bench, the assessee submitted a reconciliation statement, explaining that the earlier declaration was based solely on information drawn from unaudited books of account. Upon finalization of the accounts, the assessee observed a reduction in the turnover initially declared at the time of the survey. Specifically, the turnover was revised from Rs. 1,48,13,190/- to Rs. 1,13,08,880/-, resulting in a difference of Rs. 38,04,310/-. The Ld.

AR that the net profit margin should be applied to the difference in gros .....
