In respect of assessments completed prior to date of search that have not abated, the scope of proceedings under section 153A has to be confined only to material found during search. As no material, whatsoever, was found in the course of search, question of making addition on account of unexplained share capital could not have been the subject-matter of proceedings under section 153A.
Completed assessments can be interfered with by AO while making assessment under section 153A only on the basis of some incriminating material found during the course of search. Since no incriminating material was unearthed during the search, no additions could have been made to the income already assessed.
Where no return was filed by assessee within statutory mandated time and the obligation to file any return remains suspended till such time that a notice was issued for such purpose under section 153A(1)(a), such return would be deemed to have been filed within the time permitted under section 139(1) and benefit under section 139(3) could be availed of by assessee.
This appeal filed by the assessee against the order of the Ld. CIT(A)-XXVI, New Delhi dated 21.8.2017 and pertains to assessment year 2009-10.
We find that the additions made by the assessing officer are beyond the scope of section 153A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, because no incriminating material or evidence had been found during the course of search so as to doubt the transactions.
