What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that the AO was not legally correct in making the addition based on mere suspicion and that the CIT(A) had rightly deleted the addition. The Tribunal followed previous judgments and the High Court's affirmation of similar orders.

The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) partly allowed the appeal, directing addition of profit on premium sales.

What were the issues?

Whether the AO was justified in treating a portion of cash sales during demonetization as bogus receipts without sufficient evidence, and whether the CIT(A) erred in partially allowing the appeal by considering profit on premium sales.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?

Section 68,Section 115BBE,Section 271AAC
