ITAT Delhi held that assessments completed u/s. 153A, making addition u/s. 68 of the Income Tax Act, without any incriminating material found during the search action is unsustainable in law. Accordingly, addition deleted.
Assessee-company was carrying out the business of manufacturing and trading of dies and pigments, but no business activity was carried out during the period when the assessment proceedings were carried out.
Since the addition pertained to the “receipt of money” from the sale of flats by the assessee and these amounts did not represent the actual receipts in the hands of the assessee, they could not be subjected to tax.
Assessee, an individual and a resident of UAE, had transactions with Indian citizens, who were subject to search operation and whose assessments were centralized with the Central Circle at New Delhi.
