Search and seizure - Block assessment - Validity - Notice issued under section 158BC, whether invalid
A search and seizure operation was carried on business premises of assessee consequent to which, a notice under section 158BC was issued and return of income was filed by assessee. Assesssee claimed that AO grievously erred in assuming that the return filed was in response to the notice under section 158BC, whereas it was out of time and the notice issued calling for the return was also held as infirm by Tribunal. Therefore, income returned by it in response to notice under section 158BC could not be brought to tax. Held: The notice under section 158BC had been held to be invalid by the Tribunal. AO got the jurisdiction over the assessee only by issuance of the notice under section 158BC, and since such notice had been held to be invalid, all consequential proceedings also will become invalid.
REFERRED :
