Understanding the provisions of assessment in case of search u/s. 153A: Learn about the special procedure for assessment of search cases under Chapter XIV-B.
ITAT Remit Back the case of Actor Dulquer Salmann (Assessee) back to Assessing Officer (AO) as Information reconciling source for investments which were added as undisclosed income were placed before it but not placed before AO.
In our considered view therefore, although the name of the assessee does not feature in the panchnama, in view of the fact that warrant of authorization executed by the Department contained its name, the proceedings u/s 153A were validly initiated against the assessee.
Where no assessment proceedings are pending on the date of search and seizure proceedings, the assessment under section 153A can be carried out only on the basis of seized material and where no incriminating material was unearthed during the course of search proceedings, addition could not be made in the hands of assessee.
Once assessment gets abated, it is open for the assessee to lodge a new claim in a proceeding under Section 153A(1) which was not claimed in his regular return of income, because assessment was never made/finalised in the case of the assessee in such a situation. Thus, assessee was entitled to lodge a new claim for deduction etc. which remained to be claimed in his earlier/ regular return of income.
Various additions/disallowances made by AO were clearly beyond the scope of authority vested under s.153A owing to absence of any incriminating material or evidence deduced as a result of search in so far as completed assessments were concerned and the same was not permissible in law.
It is an admitted fact that except jewellery which remained duly explained, no material much less incriminating material was found during search, therefore, in the absence of any incriminating material recovered during search assessment having remained unabated as on date of search could not be interfered with while framing assessment under section 153A.
Both assessment and the penalty order do not specify as to on which limb the AO intends to impose penalty u/s.271(1)(c) of the Act either for concealment of particulars of income or for furnishing of inaccurate particulars of such income.
