Jurisdictional issue regarding notice u/s 143(2) was addressed, with ITAT holding that the initial notice by ACIT, Circle-5(1), Delhi was within time, and subsequent transfer to jurisdictional AO did not invalidate proceedings. Regarding addition u/ss 68/69C, ITAT held CIT(A) erred in making addition u/s 69C without issuing show cause notice as mandated u/s 251. Books of account were accepted by AO, who did not reject them or make efforts to verify sundry creditors. Additions u/s 68 cannot be made when sales, purchases, and gross profit were disclosed and accepted. CIT(A)'s addition u/s 69C on grounds of non-banking channel purchases was incorrect when sales were accepted and gross profit rate increased. ITAT deleted CIT(A)'s addition u/s 69C, allowing assessee's appeal.
