ORDER
This appeal is preferred by the assessee against the order of Ld. CIT(A)-Guwahati-1, Guwahati dated 12.11.2018 for A.Y. 2014-15.
2. The sole issue is against the action of ld. CIT(A) confirming the addition ofRs. 35,34,509/- u/s 68 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ( herein after, ‘the Act’). 3. Brief facts of the case as noted by the authorities below is that the assessee had filed return of income declaring total income of Rs. 8,64,800/-. The case was selectedfor scrutiny through CASS for limited scrutiny with the points of identification being large sundry creditors in comparison to low net profit. The Assessing Officer whileexamining the case of all the sundry creditors whose balance were outstanding as ofthe end of the previous year, found following three parties did not respond to hisSection 133(6) notice, therefore he drew adverse inference against the assessee against these three creditors.
According to the Assessing Officer, even though he confronted the assessee about non service/response of notice u/s 133(6) of the Act to these sundry creditors, no satisfactory replies were received from the assessee, therefore he made an addition of Rs. 35,34,509/-.
