Since AO made addition under section 153 on the basis of documents seized in case of third party but without mentioning of assesse’s name in any legal paper and non-establishment of relationship with searched party, therefore, the same was invalid.
As assessment for impugned assessment year was not pending on the date of search, therefore, no addition could to be made in assessment framed under section 153A in the absence of any incriminating material found during search.
ACIT Vs M/s. Mahagun Realtors (P) Ltd, (ITAT Delhi) AO has passed the assessment order u/s 153A of the Act in case of Mahagun Realtors Pvt. Ltd (represented by Mahagun India Pvt. Ltd after amalgamation) despite the fact that the above company has merged with Mahagun India Pvt. Ltd by the order of the Hon’ble […]
CIT Vs M/s. SKS Ispat & Power Limited (Bombay High Court) On perusal of Section 153A of the Act, it is manifest that it does not make any distinction between assessment conducted under Section 143(1) and 143(3). This Court had occasion to consider the scope of Section 153A of the Act in case of The […]
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.
Because in any view, the addition made u/s 68 of Rs.10,00,000/- of amount of gifts received (Rs.5,00,000/-+ Rs.5,00,000/-) in the Assessment u/s 153A without having any adverse material, and by not appreciating the evidences on record, the addition confirmed by ld. CIT(A) is grossly unjust, arbitrary, and against the facts and law of the case.
