Document seized must not only be a ‘speaking one’ but also be prima facie ‘incriminating one’ for attracting sec. 153C

January 28, 2011 2377 Views 0 comment Print

Sinhgad Technical Education Society vs. ACIT (ITAT Pune) -Though section 153C of the Income Tax Act confers jurisdiction if the Assessing Officer is ‘satisfied’ that ‘documents’ seized belong to a person other than the person referred to in section 153A so as to be able to assess that other person, the document must have prima facie incriminating information. The document seized must not only be a ‘speaking one’ but also be prima facie ‘incriminating one’ for attracting section 153C. If the impugned documents merely contain the notings of entries which are already recorded in the books of account or subjected to scrutiny of the AO in the past in regular assessment u/s 143(3) of the Act, such document cannot be said to be containing the incriminating information so as to confer jurisdiction u/s 153C.
