Facts Summary

The assessee, Arvindbhai Lavjibhai Chaudhary, filed an appeal against the appellate order dated 07.12.2019 passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) Anand/National Faceless Appeal Centre, Delhi, relating to the Assessment Year 2017-18. The assessee raised several grounds of appeal, including the passing of an ex-parte order by the Learned CIT (Appeals) and the improper invocation of Section 69A of the Income Tax Act. The assessee argued that the cash deposits made were duly recorded in the books of accounts and that the provisions of Section 69A were not applicable. Additionally, the assessee contested the addition made by the Assessing Officer under Section 44AD of the Act, arguing that the profit margin in their business was negligible. The assessee requested that the order be set aside and the matter be restored to the file of the Assessing Officer for a de novo assessment.
