CIT v. Balchand Ajit Kumar

263 ITR 610High Court2003#427 most cited

What is CIT v. Balchand Ajit Kumar authority for?

When making an addition for unaccounted receipts, on-money, or non-genuine purchases/sales, the addition should be restricted to the estimated profit element embedded in such transactions, rather than the entire gross amount, particularly when evidence of corresponding expenditure is incomplete. This estimation often involves applying a net profit rate.
