It was submitted by the Ld.CIT DR that the facts are similar to the facts in the case of Shree Salasar Castings Private Limited in and ITA No.483/CTK/2024. It was the submission that in the course of search on M/s Sunayana Metals Industries Limited undisclosed sales from the assessee was found for the A.Y. 2018-19 the undisclosed sales was found at Rs.17.25 lakhs/-. For the A.Y. 2019-20 the sales found was to the extent of Rs.92,23,979/-. It was submission that on Shree Salasar Castings Pvt. Ltd., the order of the Ld.CIT(A) is liable to be reversed or in the alternative the GP rate to be fixed at least at 3.5%.
In reply, the Ld. AR submitted that for the A.Y. 2018-19 the tax effect was below the limit of Rs.50 Lakhs and consequently, the departmental appeal is not liable to be admitted in view of the CBDT Circular No.096/2024, dated 17.09.2024. For the A.Y. 2019-20, the Ld.AR vehemently supported the order of the Ld.CIT(A).
We have considered the rival submissions. As it is noticed that the tax effect for the A.Y. 2018-19 is below the prescribed limit for filing revenue’s appeal before the Tribunal, therefore, on account of tax effect the appeal of the revenue stands dismissed.
Consequently, stands dismissed on account of tax effect.
In respect of revenue’s appeal for the A.Y. 2019-20, on Identical findings as in the case of Shree Salasar Castings Private Limited in of even date, the AO is directed to rework the undisclosed income of the assesee by estimating the income on the suppressed the turnover at 3.5% as against the 2.18% adopted by the ld. CIT(A). Thus, the appeal of the revenue in ITA No.484/CTK/2024 is party allowed.
7. In the result, appeal of the revenue in is dismissed and stands partly allowed. Order dictated and pronounced in the open court on 25/09/2025.
