IT search and seizure case of Priyanka Chopra: with reference to the materials found specific amount to various heads given wherein the undisclosed income had been utilized, later on retraction by her mother: additions to income held to be justified
Shri Keshav Lila Vs. ACIT (ITAT Indore) CBDT instructions which in our view provides a guideline to the search conducting team that no seizure should be made of the jewellery and ornaments found during the course of search proceedings u/s 132 of the Act, if the same have been duly declared in the wealth tax […]
From the perusal of the provisions of section 153A of the Act that notice under section 153A can only be issued where a search is initiated under section 132 of the Act or books of account or other documents other documents are requisitioned under section 132A after the 31-5-2003.
Legislature had conferred powers on AO to just follow assessments already concluded unless there is an incriminating material found in search to disturb concluded assessment.
Merely for the reason that the assessee had admitted additional income in the course of search for taxation, it cannot be said that such admitted income was undisclosed income within the meaning of ‘undisclosed income’ provided in Explanation to section 271AAA of the Act to impose the penalty.

The question sought to be urged by the Revenue is whether the ITAT erred in law in confirming the order of the Commissioner of Income […]
The Court is not prepared to accept the plea of the Revenue that merely because a panchnama was drawn up on 15thMay, 2007 showing that the search was ‘finally concluded’ on that date, it postponed the period of limitation in terms of Section 153B (2) (a) of the Act.
In the instant case, it is the assessment of person allegedly searched, which is disputed before us, unlike the notice issued for the assessment of `other person’ before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Even otherwise, the issue of invalidity of the search warrant in that case was not raised at any point of time prior to […]
