What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal found that the assessee failed to discharge the onus of proving the genuineness of the purchases. While the AO's 25% disallowance was upheld by the CIT(A), the Tribunal decided to apply a Gross Profit rate of 20% on the bogus purchases instead of the 25% addition.
What were the facts?
The Assessing Officer disallowed 25% of bogus purchases, adding Rs. 15,13,844/- to the assessee's income. The CIT(A) upheld this disallowance, stating that invoices were from bogus parties and goods were procured from unknown sources. This was the second round of litigation for the assessment year 2005-06.
What were the issues?
Whether the disallowance of 25% of bogus purchases was justified and what is the appropriate method for estimating income when books of accounts are rejected due to unverified purchases.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
