The assessee prays for the total relief, so wrong additions made of Rs. 5745357 be deleted. The appellant craves leave to add, amend alter vary and or withdraw any or all the above ground of appeal

.”

3. The Ld. AR submitted that application under Rule 9A read with Rule 11 of the ITAT Rules and Judgment of Apex Court in case of NTPC Vs. CIT 229 ITR 383 (SC) was filed on 09.06.2016 for revising the grounds of appeal. The said grounds are as follows:

“1. That in the facts and circumstances of the case, the order of the Ld. CIT (A) is arbitrary, invalid and illegal.

6. That the Appellant prays for all consequential reliefs entitled to it under the law in pursuance of the foregoing grounds of appeal or even otherwise.

4. The brief facts of the case are a simultaneous survey operation was conducted on M/s. Jay Enn Infotech Pvt. Ltd. and M/s. Binary Network Solutions Pvt. Ltd. under Section 133A of Income Tax Act, 1961 on 24.09.2009 at 105, A/2, Saraswati House, 27, Nehru Place, New Delhi with an action under Section 132 on Tulip Group of cases. Smt. Nirmala Jain, mother of Sh. Sunil Jain, Director was available at the time of survey as Sh. Jain was away for the treatment of his wife. During the course of survey proceedings, certain incriminating documents in the form of blank cheque books, loose papers and electronic media was found and impounded. Smt. Nirmala Jain confronted on the basis of the material so found and impounded. The Assessing Officer observed that Assessee Company was providing accommodation bills and had no genuine sales. Sh. Sunil Jain never attended the proceedings in the course of survey nor in post survey inquiries. Therefore, the Assessing Officer held that the assessee is involved in the business of providing accommodation purchase bills to various persons/concerns/entities without supply of goods and charges commission on such sales. In the profit and loss account for the period ending 31.03.2009, total turnover of the assessee company is mentioned at Rs. 383682543/-. Considering that the assessee is not involved in actual business of sale and purchase of goods and only issuing accommodation bills to provide bogus entries to various concerns on commission basis, the income of the assessee was assessed on account of commission charged @ 2% on gross turnover recorded in the books of account. Thus income of the assessee works out to Rs. 7673650/- (383682543 X 2%) on account of commission on gross turnover of the assessee company. Thus the Assessing Officer was satisfied that the assessee failed to furnish true particulars of its income in the return of income filed, for the A.Y. 2009-10 and concealed particulars of income. Thus addition of Rs.7673650/- was made.

5. Aggrieved by this, the assessee filed appeal before the CIT(A). The CIT(A) dismissed the appeal of the assessee by holding that the rejection of books were justified and there is no ground for any interference with the addition made. The rate of commission charged @ 2% by the AO is reasonable on the entire accommodation bill and confirmed the order of the Assessing Officer.

The order is pronounced in the open court on 14th of October, 2016.
