Without accounting for the closing stock how you will recognise profit ?
Suppose you have purchased (all paid) goods of Rs 500000/-, if you do not show closing stock, your Trading A/c will show loss of Rs 5.00 lacs, whereas the assessee is having no Gross Loss.

Sir but suppose if all purchases(credit) of Rs 500000/- and out of these purchases stock of Rs 400000/- is sold for Rs 450000/-(cash). Then trading a/c will show a profit of Rs 450000/- and in this case if we consider closing stock also, the gross profit will give an unreliable figure.

Due to the same reasons normally mercantile system of accounting is followed in case of a business entity. . Cash System is preferred by Professionals only.
