Section 69

As assessee had taken accommodation bills and supplied such bills by initiating bogus sales and earned some commission income on such transaction, it transpires that the assessee had given name, address, PAN, copy of return, copy of audit report in support of his claim of purchases. Hence, purchases could not be termed as unverifiable. Moreover, CIT(A) following his findings in Dineshkumar Chandmal Jain v. ITO [I.T.A. No. 2635 & 2636/Ahd/2009, assessment years 2005-06 and 2006-07, dated 5-4-2013], had directed the AO to compute the income from such accommodation entries @ 0.25%. Thus, the same was affirmed.
