The assessee has raised following ground of appeal; (1) The learned Commissioner appeal has erred in sustaining the disallowance made by assessing officer to the total expenses of rupees to 496647/-claimed against the additional income disclosed by the assessee in the revised return of income.

2. Brief facts of the case are that assessee is a builder and developer, filed its return of income for relevant assessment year on 21st September 2010 declaring total income of Rs.23,17,780/-. Subsequently a revised return was filed on 28th September 2011 declaring total income of Rs.83,39,790/-. The assessment was completed under section 143(3)on 28th of 28th March 2013. The assessing officer while passing assessment order besides the other additions and disallowances disallowed expenses of Rs. 24,96,647/-. On appeal before Commissioner (Appeals) the disallowance was confirmed. Therefore, further aggrieved by the order of Commissioner (Appeals) the assessee has filed present appeal before us.

3. None, appeared on behalf of assessee despite sending repeated notice by registered post acknowledgement (RPAD). The notices sent throughRPAD is return back with the remark of postal authorities “left”. Therefore, we left no option except to hear the learned departmental representative (DR) for the revenue and to decide the appeal on the basis of material available on record. The learned DR for the revenue supported the orders of authorities below. The learned DR further submits that the a survey under section 133A was carried out at the business premises of the assessee on 15th Feb 2011. During the course of survey statement of partner of the assessee was recorded. In the statement, the partner of assessee admitted that they have received cash amount against the sale of flats which were not accounted in the books of account and agreed to offer the cash receipt of Rs. 3,18,74,808/-. In the statement recorded during the survey action the assessee offered additional income. Therefore, there was no question for claiming additional expenses against the additional income 2 offered by the assessee. The assessee claimed additional expenses, which was disallowed by assessing officer and confirmed by learned Commissioner (Appeals).

4.

We have considered the submission of learned DR for the revenue and have gone through the orders of authorities below. The lower authority has disallowed the additional expenses claimed by assessee on the ground that the assessee claimed additional expenses on the additional income offered during the survey action carried out at the premises of assessee. We have noted that the assessee has neither filed any documentary evidences before us not came forward to explain the fact regarding the claim of additional expenses. Therefore, we do not find any merits on the ground of appeal raised by assessee. In the result ground of appeal raised by assessee is rejected.

5.

In the result appeal filed by assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 17th of July 2018.
