Issue arose under consideration as to whether disallowance under section 40A(3) and section 40(a)(ia) could be made when profits had been estimated as a percentage of turnover, in the case of assessee.

No contrary decision was brought to notice by Department. Thus, disallowance made under sections 40A(3) and 40(a)(ia) was liable to be deleted as income was estimated by AO.
