Mr. A is engaged in jobwork business. His case was selected for scrutiny. Mr. A has shown Rs. 5,32,732/- in the Balance Sheet as Sundry Creditors in the name of J.P. Enterprise. The Assessing Officer asked for Contra A/c as well as confirmation letter from M/s. J.P.Enterprise. Unfortunately, the closing balance of Mr. A in the books of accounts of M/s. J.P.Enterprise was Rs. 81,393. So there is a difference of Rs. 4,51,339/-.
The A.O. has considered the difference of Rs. 4,51,339/- as income and same was added by him in the total income of Mr. A u/s 41(1).
Whether the action taken by A.O. is justified or not?
