Facts Summary

The assessee's business premise was subjected to a survey under section 133A on 21.09.2016. To make up for the discrepancies of cash, stock, investment, advances, etc., the assessee made a surrender of Rs.75 Lacs in a recorded statement. This surrender was made in the return of income by way of credit to the Profit & Loss Account. The assessee offered the additional income and paid taxes at a rate of 30%. However, the Assessing Officer (AO) considered the provisions of Section 115BBE and opined that a higher rate of 60% would be applicable on this surrender. Accordingly, a demand was raised for additional tax. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) confirmed the same, against which the assessee is in further appeal before the tribunal.
