The appellant has agitated the application of G.P. rate at 8%. The appellant has also agitated the additions in the P&L Account.

2. None was present for the appellant when the appeal was called out for hearing in spite of service of notice. Therefore, this appeal is taken up for disposal by resort to Rule 20(2) of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Rules, 1981.

000. The appellant being aggrieved filed appeal before the CIT(A) who reduced the estimate of sale to Rs. 2,550,000, some relief was allowed in the P&L Account additions whereas the application of G.P. rate was upheld.
