आदेश / O R D E R
PER JAGADISH, A.M : Aforesaid appeal filed by the assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2013-14 arises out of the order of Learned Commissioner of Income Tax, National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [hereinafter “CIT(A)”] dated 09.05.2024 in the matter of assessment framed by the Assessing Officer [AO] u/s. 147 r.w.s 144B of the Income-tax Act,1961 (hereinafter “the Act”) on 28.03.2022.
ITA No.1524/Chny/2024 :- 2 -:
The effective ground of appeal in this appeal of assessee is
against confirming the addition of Rs. 13,04,454/- by estimating
income @8% of cash deposited in the saving bank account.
The assessee has deposited cash of Rs 1,99,62,640/- in his
saving bank account but has not filed return of income. The
Department accordingly reopened the assessment by issuing notice
u/s. 148 of the Act. The assessee in response to notice u/s. 148 of the
Act has filed the return of income declaring total income of
Rs.4,49,163/- by estimating 5% of the cash deposit as commission
income. The A.O estimated the income @ 8% as the assessee could
not produce any documents, agreement etc., in support of his
contentions that he has earned commission only @ 5%. The Ld.
CIT(A) has confirmed the addition.
The Ld. Authorized Representative (A.R) of the assessee before
us has submitted that the assessee was Branch Manager and working
for the company CISB Facility Services Pvt. Ltd. involved in providing
security services across India and responsible for maintenance of the
Thanjavur activities of security services for manpower, maintenance of
attendance of the manpower and settlement of salary etc. The Ld. AR
ITA No.1524/Chny/2024 :- 3 -:
has stated that the cash deposited related to the collection of security
services on which he has earned 5% of commission for the services
and shown income accordingly.
The Ld. Departmental Representative (DR), on the other hand,
supported the orders of authorities below and argued that the
assessee has not submitted any documentary evidence in support of
his contention and therefore A.O was justified to estimate income
@8% as provided in section 44AD.
We have heard the rival submissions, and perused the materials
available on record. The case was reopened as the assessee has
deposited cash to the tune of Rs. 1,90,62,240/- in his saving bank
account with Axis Bank but has not filled his return of income. In
response to notice issued u/s. 148 of the Act, the assessee has filed
return of income of Rs. 4,49,163/-. The A.O estimated income @ 8%
of amount deposited in the bank account as the assessee has not
been able to substantiate the basis of income @5% filed in the return
of income. The Ld. AR during assessment proceedings has stated that
he only earns 5% commission income, however has not been able to
substantiate the same and therefore, taking help of the provisions of
ITA No.1524/Chny/2024 :- 4 -:
Section 44AD of the Act, the Ld. A.O estimated the income @ 8% of the total receipt of Rs. 2,00,46,640/-. The Ld. CIT(A) has confirmed the addition as the assessee has not been able to substantiate his case. We do not find any infirmity in the order of Ld. CIT(A) and the AO as the assessee has not been able to substantiate the income shown in the return of income by documentary evidences. The assessee before us has also not submitted any documentary evidence in support of his contention of 5% commission. We accordingly uphold the order of Ld CIT(A) and confirm the addition made by the A.O.
In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is dismissed.
Order pronounced on 30th October, 2024.
