FIRST OF ALL, WE FIN D IT APPROPRIATE TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE OF REJECTION OF BOOKS OF ACCOUN TS AND CONSEQUENTLY ESTIMATION OF INCOME WHICH PROFIT FROM THE PROPERTY BUSINESS AT 10% OF TOTAL TURNOVER DURING THE RELEVA NT FINANCIAL PERIOD. 4. WE HAVE HEARD ARGUMENT OF BOTH THE SIDES AND CAREFULLY PERUSED THE RELEVANT MATERIAL AVAILABLE ON RECORD. THE LD.

THE LD. AR ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE NET PROFIT RAT IO DECLARED BY THE ASSESSEE WAS OF 1.97% OF SALES AND THE CIT(A) CONFI RMED THE ESTIMATION OF 10% WITH THE WRONG UNDERSTANDING THE DECLARED NET PROFIT RATIO IS 5% OF TURNOVER WHEREAS DECLARED NET PROFIT RATIO WAS 1.97% ONLY. THE LD. AR VEHEMENTLY CONTENDED THAT TH E CIT(A) OBSERVED ON THE BASIS OF PURE GUESSWORK ONLY THAT T HERE WAS A BOOM IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET DURING THE PERIOD WHICH I S NOT FACTUALLY CORRECT AS IN FACT THERE HAD BEEN A DOWN WORD SWING IN THE TRADE OF SALE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND IN THE NCR REGION. THE LD . AR ALSO CONTENDED THAT NO COMPARABLE CASE HAS BEEN CITED NE ITHER BY THE AO NOR BY THE CIT(A) TO JUSTIFY ESTIMATION OF NET PROF IT @ 10% OF TURNOVER AND THUS THE SAME IS ARBITRARY AND BASED O N SURMISES AND CONJECTURES WHICH CANNOT BE HELD AS SUSTAINABLE.

REPLYING TO THE ABOVE, THE LD. DEPARTMENTAL R EPRESENTATIVE (DR) VEHEMENTLY STRONGLY THE SUPPORTED THE ACTION F O THE AO AS WELL AS FIRST APPELLATE IMPUGNED ORDER AND SUBMITTE D THAT AS PER PARAGRAPH J OF THE ASSESSMENT ORDER IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ASSESSEE FAILED TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS RELATING TO PURCHASE AN D SALE AND PROPERTIES, SECONDLY, THE BAYANA RECEIPTS FURNISHED DO NOT SHOW TOTAL SALE AND PURCHASE CONSIDERATION, THEREFORE, T HE AO CORRECTLY HELD THAT ARRIVING AT CORRECT PROFIT ARISING FROM S ALE AND PURCHASE TRANSACTIONS UNDERTAKEN BY THE ASSESSEE WAS NOT POS SIBLE. THE LD. DR VEHEMENTLY SUBMITTED THAT THE AO REJECTED BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS OF THE ASSESSEE AFTER ALLOWING SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY FOR PRODUCING THE CO-RELATING DOCUMENTS OR THE PERSONS AND THE ASSESS EE FAILED TO ITA NO. 2099/DEL/2010 SANDEEP MANGLA 7 SUBSTANTIATE THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF TRANSACTIONS AND PROFIT EARNED BY HIM FROM THE BUSINESS OF SALE AND PURCHASE OF PROPE RTY. THEREFORE, THE AO WAS QUITE JUSTIFIED IN REJECTING THE BOOKS O F ACCOUNTS OF THE ASSESSEE AND ESTIMATING PROFIT 10% OF TURNOVER DURI NG THE RELEVANT PERIOD. THE LD. DR ALSO SUPPORTED THE CIT(A) ORDER IN THIS REGARD. 7. THE LD. AR ALSO PLACED REJOINDER TO THE A BOVE CONTENTIONS OF THE LD. DR AND SUBMITTED THAT EVEN IF THERE WAS A NECESSITY TO ESTIMATE NET PROFIT THEN THE ASSESSING OFFICER IS DUTY BOUND TO CONSIDER FINANCI AL RESULTS OF THE ASSESSEE FOR EARLIER AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS ALSO REQUIRED TO CONSI DER THE ESTIMATION OF PROFIT ON THE BASIS OF COMPARABLE CASE OF SIMILAR NATURE OF B USINESS AND IN ABSENCE OF SUCH EXERCISE ESTIMATION OF PROFIT CANNOT BE DONE C ORRECTLY. THE LD. AR ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE CIT(A) IN PARA 6.1. WRONGLY NO TED THAT THE ASSESSEE HIMSELF COMPUTED THE NET PROFIT AT 5% OF TURN OVER AS FROM THE AUDITED BALANCE SHEET, IT IS AMPLY CLEAR THAT THE ASSESSEE IN ITS TRADINGS PR OFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT FOR THE RELEVANT PERIOD PLACED THAT PAGE 53 OF THE ASSESSEE S PAPER BOOK HAS SHOWN SALES OF RS. 2,73,04,367/- AND NET PROFIT EARNED THEREFRO M HAS BEEN DECLARED AT RS. 5,39,786/- WHICH COMES TO 1.97% OF THE TOTAL TURN O VER, THEREFORE, FACTUALLY INCORRECT AND BASELESS FINDINGS OF THE AUTHORITIES BELOW SHOULD BE DISMISSED. 8. ON CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF ABOVE RIVAL SUBMISSIONS , AT THE VERY OUTSET, FROM PARAGRAPH J AT PAGE 12 OF THE ASSESSMENT ORD ER WE NOTE THAT THE AO UNDERTAKEN EXERCISED BY INVOKING PROVISIONS OF SECT ION 133(6) OF THE ACT BUT THERE WAS NO COMPLIANCE OF SUCH NOTICES BY THE ADDR ESSES AND THUS THERE WAS NO RESULT. THE ASSESSING OFFICER IN THE SECOND PART OF THIS PARA NOTED THAT THE ASSESSEE FAILED TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS RELATING TO PU RCHASE AND SALE OF PROPERTIES AND THE BANAYA RECEIPTS DO NOT SHOW TOTAL SALE AND PURCHASE CONSIDERATION, THEREAFTER, HE PROCEEDED TO REJECT BOOKS OF ACCOUNT S OF ASSESSEE BY HOLDING THAT ITA NO. 2099/DEL/2010 SANDEEP MANGLA 8 EVEN AFTER ALLOWING SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY FOR PROD UCING AND RELATING DOCUMENTS AND PERSONS, THE ASSESSEE FAILED SUBSTANTIATE THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF TRANSACTION AND PROFIT FROM THE BUSINESS OF REAL ESTATE. THEN T HE AO PROCEEDED TO ESTIMATE INCOME FROM THE PROPERTY BUSINESS. 9. FROM THE IMPUGNED APPELLATE ORDER PARA 6.1, WE NOTE THAT THE CIT(A) PLACING RELIANCE ON THE JUDGMENT OF HONBLE SUPREME COURT IN THE CASE OF CIT VS. BRITISH PAINTS INDIA LIMITED 188 ITR 44(SC) HELD THAT IT IS THE DUTY OF THE AO CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT THE BOOKS DISCLOSED THE TRUE STATE OF ACCOUNTS AND THE CORRECT INCOME. THE CIT (A) FURTHER NOTED THAT THE ASSESSEE APPELLANT FAIUTO GIVE PROPER AND CORRECT DETAILS OF SALES, PURCHASE, EXPENSES AND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE THEREOF RESULTING INTO INVOKING OF PROVISI ONS OF SECTION 145(3) OF THE ACT. IN THIS SITUATION, WE ARE OF THE CONSIDERED OP INION THAT THE AUTHORITIES BELOW, AFTER ALLOWING THE DUE OPPORTUNITY OF HEARIN G OF ASSESSEE, FOUND THAT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS OF THE A SSESSEE DO NOT SHOW THE CORRECT PROFIT AND THE ASSESSING OFFICER WAS NOT S ATISFIED ABOUT THE CORRECTNESS OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS OF THE ASS ESSEE THEN THE REJECTION OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS OF THE ASSESSEE U/S 145(3) OF THE ACT IS TO BE HELD AS VALID AND SUSTAINABLE. IN OUR CONSIDERED OPINION THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS DO NOT BECOME SACROSANCT MERELY BECAUSE THEY ARE AUDITED. CONSEQU ENTLY, WE HOLD THAT THE REJECTION OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS BY THE AO WAS QUITE JUSTIFIED & CORRECT AND CIT(A) WAS ALSO CORRECT IN UPHOLDING THE CONCLUSION OF THE AO IN THIS REGARD. 10. FURTHER, SINCE BY THE EARLIER PART OF THI S ORDER, WE HAVE UPHELD CONCLUSION OF THE AUTHORITIES BELOW THAT THE REJECT ION OF THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS OF THE ASSESSEE WAS CORRECT AND JUSTIFIED THEN NEXT QU ESTION FOR ADJUDICATION BEFORE US IS THAT WHETHER THE AUTHORITIES BELOW WERE REASO NABLE AND CORRECT IN ITA NO. 2099/DEL/2010 SANDEEP MANGLA 9 ESTIMATING PROFIT AT THE RATE OF 10% OF TURN OVER O F THE ASSESSEE EFFECTED DURING THE RELEVANT FINANCIAL YEAR. ADMITTEDLY AND UNDISPU TEDLY, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF COMMENCEMENT OF BUSINESS BY THE ASSESSEE. THEREFORE , THERE COULD BE NOT HISTORY OF EARLIER YEARS THE ASSESSING OFFICER COMP LETED ASSESSMENT PROCEEDINGS ON 31.12.2008 AND CIT(A) PASSED AN IMPUGNED ORDER O N 16.3.2010 BUT NEITHER OF THEM BOTHER TO CONSIDER AND ,TO HAVE BENEFIT OF THE NET PROFIT RATE, DECLARED BY THE ASSESSEE AND ACCEPTED BY THE DEPARTMENT, IN TH E SUBSEQUENT ASSESSMENT YEARS I.E. AY 2007-08 AND 2008 - 09 . FROM THE RELEVANT PART OF ASSESSMENT ORDER ON THE ISSUE OF ESTIMATION OF NET PROFIT WE OBSERVE THAT THE AO NEITHER CONSIDERED SUBSEQUENT YEARS GP RATE NOR CONSIDERED ANY OTHER COMPARABLE SIMILAR TO THE FUNCTIONAL PROFILE OF THE ASSESSEE. FROM THE RELEVANT OPERATIVE PARA 6.1 OF THE CIT(A), WE NOTE THAT THE CIT(A) WAS FACT UALLY INCORRECT IN OBSERVING THAT THE ASSESSEE COMPUTED AND DECLARED NET PROFIT AT THE RATE OF 5% AS FROM THE AUDITED BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS OF ASSESSEE AND COPY OF T HE P & L ACCOUNT AVAILABLE AT PAGE 53 OF THE ASSESSEE PAPER BOOK 1 IT IS AMPLY CLEAR THAT THE ASSESSEE EARNED NET PROFIT AT THE RATE OF 1.97% WHICH IS LESS THAN 2% OF THE TURN OVER. 11. IT IS WELL ACCEPTED PRINCIPLE OF ESTIMATION OF NET PROFIT THAT AFTER REJECTION OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE A SSESSEE THE REVENUE AUTHORITIES SHOULD FIRSTLY CONSIDER THE EARLIER AND SUBSEQUENT PERIOD NOT PROFIT OF THE ASSESSEE DECLARED BY HIM AND ACCEPTED BY THE DEPART MENT AND SECONDLY, NET PROFIT EARNED BY THE OTHER ENTITIES / PERSONS COMPA RABLE TO SIMILAR LINE OF BUSINESS OF THE ASSESSEE MAY ALSO BE TAKEN INTO CON SIDERATION FOR ESTIMATION OF PROFIT. AT THE SAME TIME, WE ALSO OBSERVE THAT THE ASSESSEE DID NOT PUTFORTH HIS NET PROFIT OF SUBSEQUENT YEARS BEFORE THE AUTHORITI ES BELOW AND NOR SUBMITTED ANY COMPARABLE CASE TO SHOW THAT THE ESTIMATION OF NET PROFIT MADE BY THE AO AND UPHELD BY THE CIT(A) IS EXCESSIVE HIGH. IN THE PRESENT CASE WHEN THE ITA NO. 2099/DEL/2010 SANDEEP MANGLA 10 ASSESSEE IS EARNING PROFITS FROM SALE AND PURCHASE OF PROPERTIES AND NUMBER OF DEALS HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THIRD PARTY EARNING PROFITS ONLY ON BAYANA AMOUNT YIELDING PROFITS TO THE ASSESSEE AND HIS CLIENTS TH EN THE ESTIMATED NET PROFIT RATE @ 10% OF TURNOVER CANNOT BE SAID TO BE VERY HIGH AN D NOT SUSTAINABLE AND THUS WE UP TO THE SAME. CONSEQUENTLY, GROUND NOS. 5, 5.1 & 5.2 OF THE ASSESSEE ARE DISMISSED BEING DEVOID OF MERITS. 12. GROUND NO. 2 AND 9 OF THE ASSESSEE : T HE LD. AR PLACING RELIANCE ON THE DECISION OF HONBLE MP HIGH COURT IN THE CASE O F CIT VS. PURSHOTTAMLAL TAMRAKAR 270 ITR 314 (MP) AND DECISION OF HONBLE P UNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT IN THE CASE OF CIT VS. SMT. SANTOSH JAIN 296 ITR 324 (P & H HIGH COURT) SUBMITTED THAT WHERE THE INCOME OF THE ASSESSEE HAS BEEN COMPUTED BY APPLYING GROSS OR NET PROFIT RATE, THEN THERE IS NO NEED TO LOOK INTO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 40A(3) OF THE ACT, AS APPLYING THE GROSS PR OFIT RATE TAKES CARE OF EXPENDITURE OTHERWISE THEN BY WAY OF CROSSED CHEQUE ALSO. 13. REPLYING TO THE ABOVE THE LD. DR STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE ACTION OF THE AO AS WELL AS FIRST APPELLATE ORDER AND SUBMITTED T HAT SINCE THE LAND WAS MEANT FOR SELLING, THE TREATMENT OF LAND WOULD BE STOCK I N TRADE AND NOT AS CAPITAL ASSET, THEREFORE, PROVISIONS OF SECTION 40A(3) OF THE ACT WOULD APPLY AND THE ISSUE IS ALSO COVERED WITH CBDT CIRCULAR NO. 34 DATED 5.3.19 70. 14. ON CAREFUL CONSIDERATION ON ABOVE SUBMISSIO N AND UNDISPUTEDLY THE AUTHORITIES BELOW REJECTED THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS OF THE ASSESSEE AND PROCEEDED TO ESTIMATED NET PROFIT OF THE ASSESSEE AT THE RATE OF 10% OF TURN OVER. AT THE COST OF REPETITION, WE MAY POINT OUT THAT BY THE EARLIER PART OF THIS ORDER WE HAVE UPHELD REJECTION OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS AND ESTIMATIO N OF NET PROFIT HAS ALSO BEEN UPHELD @ 10% OF TURNOVER AS PER FACTS AND CIRCUMST ANCES OF THE CASE. IN THIS ITA NO. 2099/DEL/2010 SANDEEP MANGLA 11 SITUATION, WHEN WE RESPECTFULLY CONSIDER THE RATIO LAID DOWN BY HONBLE MADHYA PRADESH HIGH COURT IN THE CASE OF CIT VS. PURSHOTTA MLAL TAMRAKAR (SUPRA) AND DECISION OF HONBLE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT I N THE CASE OF CIT VS. SANTOSH JAIN (SUPRA) THEN WE FIND THAT THEIR LORDSH IPS IN THE SIMILAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES HELD THAT WHERE THE INCOME OF THE ASS ESSEE HAS BEEN COMPUTED BY APPLYING A GROSS PROFIT RATE, THERE IS NO NEED TO L OOK INTO THE PROVISION OF SECTION 40A(3) OF THE ACT BECAUSE APPLYING OF GROSS PROFIT RATE TAKES CARE OF EXPENDITURE OTHERWISE THAN BY WAY OF CROSS CHEQUE ALSO. THUS, W E ARE OF THE CONSIDERED OPINION THAT THE IMPUGNED ISSUES ARE SQUARELY COVER ED IN FAVOUR OF THE ASSESSEE BY THE ABOVE QUOTED JUDGEMENTS OF HONBLE HIGH COUR T. CONSEQUENTLY, GROUND NO. 2 AND 9 OF THE ASSESSEE ARE ALLOWED. 15. GROUND NO. 4 AND 4.1 OF THE ASSESSEE : TH E LD.

THE HON BLE HIGH COURT IN THE JUDGMENT HAS ALSO REFERRED AND CONSIDERED THE RATIO OF THE JUDGEMENT OF HONBLE ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT IN THE CASE OF CIT VS. BANWARI LAI BANSHIDHAR (SUPRA). THEREFORE, WE OBSERVE THAT WHILE THE BOOKS OF ACCOU NTS OF ASSESSEE HAS BEEN REJECTED AND NET PROFIT OF THE ASSESSEE WAS ESTIMAT ED BY THE AUTHORITIES BELOW THEN NO FURTHER ADDITION U/S 68 OF THE ACT WOULD VA LIDLY BE MADE ON ACCOUNT OF UNEXPLAINED CASH. 20.
