10% disallowance of the total expenses as stated above. The ld. CIT(A) held that, since, Manish Kumar; A.Y. 2017-18 ITA No. 442/PAT/2024 & CO No.2/PAT/2025 income has been estimated by applying GP rate, no further disallowance is warranted as the learned Assessing Officer did not record any reasons to doubt the genuineness of the expenses claimed. 7.
