A mere lower gross profit (G.P.) rate or deviation in G.P. is not sufficient to justify a trading addition or the rejection of books of account if the books are maintained properly, entries are vouched, and stock positions are not disputed. The estimation of profit must rely on cogent material beyond mere suspicion.
