Modus operandi for quantification of income in case of admitted accommodation entry provider:
That when the finding is that the assessee has indulged in circular and multiple transactions, by layering, what can be taxed is the peak credit and that too at the first point is acceptable and should be the manner of determining the correct income. If each of the layer is brought out tax, then it would be case of levy of income tax, multiple no. of times, on the same amount.
