INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 153A

As regular assessment for the year under consideration remained unabated as on date of search, therefore, same could not be interfered with while framing search assessment under section 153A in the absence of incriminating material found during search.

Search and seizure - Assessment under section 153A - No incriminating material found during search - Unabated assessment

During the course of search list of transfer of shares since 1-4-2010 till 31-3-2011 was found and recovered from Jalalabad Road, Shahjahanpur which was not the address of assessee. AO based thereon framed assessment under section 153A and made addition on account of unexplained investment in shares. Assessee challenged this on the ground of no incriminating material found during search. Held: Seized paper merely reflected the date, name of transferor and transferee and number of shares. The document did not speak of any unexplained investment made by assessee and, therefore, could not be considered as incriminating material in nature. As regular assessment for the year under consideration remained unabated as on date of search, therefore, same could not be interfered with while framing search assessment under section 153A.
