INCOME TAX ACT, 1961
--Accounting method--Estimation of income Low net profit--Assessing officer found that the net profit shown was very low, as retail traders generally allow 10 per cent discount on maximum retail price printed on packet of footwear and therefore, adopted net profit ratio at 5 per cent of net sales. Commissioner deleted the addition observing that assessing officer had estimated profit without any proper reasons nor any defect was pointed. Held: Was justified as assessing officer did not support the addition on the basis of any comparative case to show unreasonableness nor any defect was pointed in the details furnished by assessee.
