AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY. 12. THE ORDER OF THE A.O BE RESTORED AND THAT OF T HE CIT(A) BE VACATED. 13. THE APPELLANT CRAVES LEAVE TO ADD, AMEND OR AL TER ANY OR ALL THE GROUNDS OF APPEAL. 3. BRIEFLY STATED RELEVANT FACTS ARE THAT THE ASSESSEE IS A FIRM AND ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS OF CIVIL CONTRACTS. THERE WAS SURV EY ACTION U/S.133A OF THE ACT ON THE AMBARWADIKAR GROUP OF CASES ON 10-12-2012 TO 12-12-2012. SURVEY ACTION RESULTED IN DISCOVERY OF IN CRIMINATING DOCUMENTS AND BOOKS OF ACCOUNT ETC. AO IMPOUNDED THEM . THERE WAS RECORDING OF STATEMENT OF CONCERNED PERSONS ON OATH U/ S.131 OF THE ACT. 3 CONSIDERING THE COMPLEXITY OF THE ACCOUNTS AND VOLUMINOUS PAPERS/DOCUMENTS IMPOUNDED BY THE REVENUE, WITH THE A PPROVAL OF CIT, AURANGABAD, A SPECIAL AUDIT WAS ORDERED U/S.142(2A) OF THE ACT. AFTER CONSIDERING THE REPORT OF THE SPECIAL AUDIT, THE AO MADE THE ASSESSMENT U/S.143(3) OF THE ACT DETERMINING THE ASSESSED INCOME AT RS.7,77,54,680/-. AO MADE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONS (PAGE 17 OF TH E ASSESSMENT ORDER) AND THE SAME ARE EXTRACTED AS UNDER : ADD : I) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-6 ABOVE RS.33,56,060/- II) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-7 ABOVE RS.21,34,500/- III) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-8(2) ABOVE R S. 81,132/- IV) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-8.5 ABOVE RS. 62,20,000/- V) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-9.2 ABOVE RS.4,1 8,35,803/- VI) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-10 ABOVE RS. 88,52,000/- VII) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-11 (II) ABOVE RS .15,19,186/- VIII) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-11 (III) ABOVE RS.1,92,000/- IX) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-12 ABOVE RS. 80,00,000/- X) ADDITION AS DISCUSSED IN PARA-13 ABOVE RS.1 1,92,700/- RS.7,31,83,381 ------------------------ ------------- ------------ TOTAL INCOME TOTAL ASSESSED INCOME RS. 7,7 7,54,681/- ROUNDED OFF TO RS.7,77,54,680/- ============== FROM THE ABOVE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE AO MADE VARIOUS ITEMISED ADDITIONS BASED ON THE REPORT GIVEN BY THE SPECIAL AUDITO RS UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 142(2A) OF THE I.T. ACT. SOME OF THES E ADDITIONS CONSTITUTES PROTECTED ADDITION, WHICH ARE OTHERWISE AD DED SUBSTANTIVELY IN THE CASE OF THE GROUP CASES, I.E. M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY. 4. ASSESSEE RAISED VARIOUS GROUNDS ON THE SAID ITEMISED ADDITIONS BEFORE THE FIRST APPELLATE AUTHORITY. CIT(A) HAS GRANTED R EASONABLE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING HEARD TO THE ASSESSEE AND PARTLY ALLOWED THE APPEAL OF THE ASSESSEE. AS EVIDENT FROM THE ORDER OF CIT(A) WHO MERELY EXTRACTED THE REASONS GIVEN BY THE AO FOR MAKING ADDITIONS ON THE ITEM-WISE AND ALSO THE SUBMISSIONS OF THE ASSESSEE, AND DID NOT FIND RELEV ANT TO GIVE ANY SPECIFIC ADJUDICATION ON THE ABOVE SAID ITEMISED ADDITION S. THE SAME IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 250(6) O F THE ACT. 4 THESE FACTS ARE EVIDENT UPTO PARA 7 OF HIS ORDER. FROM PARA NO.8 ONWARDS, THE CIT(A) DISCUSSED THE SUBMISSION OF THE PARTIE S ONLY ON THE AFORESAID ITEMISED ADDITIONS, AND, HOWEVER, ANALYSED THE GP RATE OF THE ASSESSEE ON THE GROSS RECEIPTS AND HELD THAT GP IS MUC H HIGHER THAN 60% GROSS CONTRACT RECEIPTS OF THE ASSESSEES BUSINESS . AFTER DISCUSSING VARIOUS CASE LAWS, THE CIT(A) PROCEEDED TO RESTRICT THE G P RATE TO 13% OF THE GROSS CONTRACT RECEIPTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE SAID PERCENTAGE OF 13% GP RATE IS COMMON QUA THE ASSESSMENT FOR A.Y. 2010-11 IN THE CASE OF M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY. IN FACT SOME OF THE ADDITION S ARE COMMONLY MADE IN THE CASE OF THE ASSESSEE ON PROTECTIV E BASIS AS WELL AS IN THE SAID CASE OF M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY. IN FACT, SOME OF THESE ADDITIONS ARE FOUND DELETED BY THE CIT(A) IN THE INSTANT CASE. 5. LD. CIT-DR FOR THE REVENUE BROUGHT OUR ATTENTION TO THE GROUNDS AND SUBMITTED THAT THE CIT(A) FAILED TO ADJUDICATE THE ADD ITIONS MADE BY THE AO GIVING CONCLUSIONS ON EACH OF THE GROUNDS RAISED B EFORE HIM. HIS APPROACH IN DECIDING THE ISSUES ON THE BASIS OF GP RATE IS NOWHERE THE GROUND OF THE ASSESSEE BEFORE HIM. FURTHER, LD. CIT-DR S UBMITTED THAT THE DECISION OF NOT MAKING ADDITIONS INVOKING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 40A(3), 40(A)(IA), 68, 36(1)(III) ETC. OVER AND ABOVE THE GP RATE ABO VE IS ALSO NOT IN TUNE WITH THE LEGAL PROVISIONS. LD. CIT-DR SUBM ITTED THAT WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE SOURCES OF INCOME TO THE ASSESSE E, THE ADDITIONS U/S.68, 69 COULD ALSO BE JUSTIFIED AND SUSTAINABLE N LAW. FU RTHER, LD. CIT-DR MENTIONED THAT, IN CASE APPEALS IN OTHER GROUP CA SES OF M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY STAND REMANDED TO THE FILE OF CIT (A) BY THE TRIBUNAL (VIDE ITA NO. 2038/PUN/2014 DATED 23-02-2018), T HE SAME SHOULD BE FOLLOWED IN THE INSTANT CASE ALSO WITH SIMILAR DIRECTIONS. 6. PER CONTRA, IT IS THE PRAYER OF LD. COUNSEL FOR THE A SSESSEE THAT THE APPEAL IN THIS CASE HAS TO BE DECIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE APPEAL BY M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY CONSIDERING THE COMMONALITY O F CERTAIN 5 ISSUES AND THE COMMON CONCLUSIONS OF THE CIT(A). LD. COUNS EL FOR THE ASSESSEE FILED WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS JUSTIFYING 13% THE GP RATE AS WELL AS OTHER RELIEFS GRANTED BY THE CIT(A). 7. WE HEARD BOTH THE PARTIES AND PERUSED THE ORDERS OF THE REVENUE AND ALSO PERUSED THE ORDERS OF THE TRIBUNAL IN THE CASE OF M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY (SUPRA). THE FACTS OF THE CASE, FI NDINGS OF THE SPECIAL AUDITORS, MANNER OF MAKING ORDER BY THE CIT(A), THE GP RATES AND OTHER MANNERS OF TREATING THE ITEMISED ADDITIONS BY THE C IT(A) ARE IDENTICAL IN THIS APPEAL QUA THE APPEAL IN THE CASE OF M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY. THE REASONING GIVEN BY THE CIT(A) IN GIVING RELI EF AS WELL AS IN ADOPTING THE COMMON GP RATE OF 13% ARE ALSO THE SAME . WHILE ADJUDICATING THE CASE OF M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY WHE RE SOME OF THE ADDITIONS WERE MADE ON SUBSTANTIVE BASIS IN THAT CAS E AND PROTECTIVE ADDITIONS ARE MADE IN THE PRESENT CASE OF THE ASSESSEE WE FIND THE ISSUES ARE TO BE ADJUDICATED IN HARMONY. THE TRIBUNAL IN THE CA SE OF M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY, VIDE ORDER DATED 28-02-2018, RE MANDED THE ISSUES TO THE FILE OF CIT(A) FOR FRESH ADJUDICATION AFTER GRANT ING REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING HEARD TO THE ASSESSEE. WE THEREFOR E FIND IT RELEVANT TO EXTRACT THE FINDING GIVEN BY THE TRIBUNAL IN THE CASE O F M/S. AMBARWADIKAR & COMPANY (PARA 12 OF THE ORDER) AND THE S AME READS AS UNDER : 12. WE HAVE HEARD BOTH THE PARTIES AND FIND THERE ARE COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT REQUIRES OUR ATTENTION (1) IF THE GP RATES ARR IVED AT 164.14% FOR A.Y. 2010-11 AND 60% FOR A.Y. 2011-12 IN VIEW OF THE I TEMIZED ADDITIONS, IS GOOD ENOUGH REASON FOR THE CIT(A) TO RESORT TO CHAN GING THE APPROACH OF THE AO AND FURTHER RESORT TO THE GP ESTIMATIONS RESTRI CTING TO THE NORMAL GP RATE OF THE ASSESSEE, WHICH IS SURVEYED U/S.133A OF THE ACT, AND (2) IF THE CIT(A) IS JUSTIFIED IN RESTRICTING THE GP RATE TO 1 3% FOR A.Y. 2010-11 WHEN THE ASSESSEE HIMSELF OFFERED THE PROFIT RATE @24% I N THE SUBSEQUENT A.Y. 2011-12. REGARDING THE FIRST ISSUE, WE FIND THE AO MADE ITEMI SED ADDITIONS/DISALLOWANCES INVOKING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 32, 69C, 40A(3), 40(A)(IA) AND 37 AND 14A ETC. THESE ARE TH E DISALLOWANCES MADE BY THE AO IN VIEW OF THE VIOLATIONS OF THE SAID PRO VISIONS FOR THE REASONS OF NON-FULFILMENT OF THE CONDITIONS BY THE ASSESSEE SP ECIFIED IN THE ACT. SUCH LEGAL DISALLOWANCES/ADDITIONS CANNOT BE CONFUSED WI TH THE PROFITS OF THE BUSINESS OF THE ASSESSEE. IN OUR VIEW, THE CONCLUS ION OF CIT(A)S ORDER, IS 6 IN THE ZONE OF ERRORS BY RESTRICTING TO THE GP RATE S WITHOUT GIVING FINDING ON ITEMISED ADDITIONS. IN OUR VIEW, THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT WERE IGNORED ALONG WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED THEREIN. FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW, THE CONCLUSION GIVEN BY THE CIT(A) IN PARA NO.12 IN OUR VIEW IS WITHOUT LEGAL SUPPORT. ALARMING GP RATES OF 164.14% AND 60% GP D ID NOT PERMIT THE CIT(A) TO DECIDE THE ITEMISED ADDITIONS MEANINGFULL Y IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 250(6) OF THE ACT. FURTHER, WITH REGARD TO THE SAID ITEMISED ADDITIONS , WE FIND THE CIT(A) MERELY EXTRACTED THE REASONS FOR MAKING ADDITIONS/D ISALLOWANCES AND ALSO EXTRACTED THE CONTENTION OF THE ASSESSEE AND H AS NOT ADJUDICATED THE GROUNDS RAISED BEFORE HIM. THE ONLY REASON FOR NOT ADJUDICATING EACH OF THE ITEMISED ADDITIONS/DISALLOWANCES IN BOTH THE YEA RS IS LINKED TO THE DECISION IN PARA NO.12 WHEREIN THE ESTIMATED ADDITI ONS FOR A.Y. 2010-11 @13% IS CONFIRMED. NO EXPRESSIVE REASONS ARE MENTI ONED BY THE CIT(A) JUSTIFYING THE SAID RATE OF 13% FOR THIS YEAR. IT IS ALSO NOT CLEAR AS TO WHY 13% IS SUSTAINABLE WHEN THE ASSESSEE HIMSELF OFFERE D THE GP RATE OF 24% FOR THE A.Y. 2011-12. THEREFORE, IT IS REASONABLE TO PRESUME THAT THE ORDER PASSED BY THE CIT(A) DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SPEAKING ORDER WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE BY GIVING THE REASONS ALSO ON THE IT EMISED ADDITIONS FOR BOTH THE ASSESSMENT YEARS. CIT(A) NEED NOT BE GUID ED BY THE GP RATES OF THE ASSESSEE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FAIRNESS, IN A CASE LIKE THIS WHERE THERE IS COERCIVE ACTION BY THE DEPARTMENT BY WAY O F INVOKING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 133A OF THE ACT. IN SUCH SUR VEY ACTION, THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF GATHERING OF INCRIMINATING EVIDENCES AND THE STATEMENTS OF THE ASSESSEE WHICH ALSO ASSUMES SIGNIFICANCE. BY THE E STIMATIONS ARRIVED AT BY THE CIT(A), WE ARE OF THE VIEW THAT THE DISCOVER IES MADE BY THE DEPARTMENT FROM THE ASSESSEES PREMISES THROUGH INV OKING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 133A OF THE ACT HAVE BECOME REDUNDANT. USUALLY, THE PROFITS OF THE ASSESSEE ARE HIGHER, NORMALLY IN THE ASSESSMENT WHERE ACTION U/S.133A, 132, 131, 133(6) ETC ARE INVOKED. THE GP RATES IN SUCH YEARS NEED NOT BE ON PAR WITH THE GP RATES OF THE ASSESSE E NORMALLY EITHER IN EARLIER YEAR OR LATER ASSESSMENT YEARS. THEREFORE, WE ARE OF THE VIEW THAT BOTH THE ASSESSMENTS SHOULD BE REMANDED TO THE FILE OF CIT(A) FOR FRESH ADJUDICATION AFTER GRANTING REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING HEARD TO THE ASSESSEE. CIT(A) IS DIRECTED TO PASS A SPEAKING OR DER BY GIVING HIS REASONS ON EACH OF THE ITEMISED ADDITIONS IN BOTH T HE ASSESSMENT YEARS. CIT(A) SHALL GRANT REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING HEARD TO THE ASSESSEE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SET PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL JUSTI CE. 8. THUS, WE FIND IT RELEVANT THAT CIT(A) NEED TO GIVE SPECIFIC ADJUDICATION ON EACH OF THE ADDITIONS MADE BY THE AO. TH E PROVISIONS OF SECTION 250(6) OF THE ACT COMMAND THE SAME. THERE IS NEE D FOR WRITING A SPEAKING ORDER AS TO WHY 13% IS APPROPRIATE IN THE GIVEN FACTS OF EACH CASE. THERE IS NEED FOR JUSTIFYING THE DELETION OF OTHER ADDITIONS OVER AND ABOVE THE ESTIMATED GP, IF THE SAME IS THE APPROACH OF TH E CIT(A) AS WELL IN THESE CASES. THERE ARE VARIOUS JUDICIAL ORDERS ON THIS TOPIC WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MAKING ADDITION U/S.69 OF THE ACT, WHE N THE PROFITS ARE ESTIMATED FOR ANY SUSTAINABLE REASONS. CONSIDERING TH E SAME, WE ARE OF THE VIEW THAT THE APPEAL IN THE PRESENT CASE SHOULD A LSO BE REMANDED TO THE FILE OF CIT(A) FOR FRESH ADJUDICATION WITH IDENTICAL DIREC TIONS. WE 7 ORDER ACCORDINGLY. THUS, THE GROUNDS RAISED BY THE REV ENUE ARE ALLOWED FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES. 9. IN THE RESULT, APPEAL OF THE REVENUE IS ALLOWED FOR STAT ISTICAL PURPOSES.
