That the Commission of Income Tax (Appeals) erred in law and on facts in upholding the order of ACIT for making an addition of Rs.89,607 on account of personal nature, as 20% of Depreciation of Car, Telephone expenses, Car Running & Maintenance and Travelling expenses, though no instance of personal expenses has been pointed out by ACIT & Commission of Income Tax (Appeals) and accounts of the assessee have been duly audited by a Chartered Accountant and a report thereof has been submitted during the assessment proceedings.
The appellant craves eave to add, alter, amend, modify or delete any grounds of appeal before or at the time of hearing.”
