Dy. Commissioner Of Income Tax, Central ... vs Sew Infrastructure Limited, Hyderabad on 7 October, 2024
From the observation of the Hon'ble
Supreme Court in Para 8, it is clear that it has approved
the ratio laid down by the Delhi High Court in the case
of Kabul Chawla (supra) and the Gujarat High Court in
the case of PCIT Vs. Saumya Constructions reported in
(2016) 387 ITR 529 (Guj) and the Hon'ble High Court
of Rajasthan has followed or considered the ratio of
these two cases while deciding the issue in the case of
Jai Steel (India) Vs. ACIT (supra). Therefore, in our
considered view, once the matter has been finally
concluded by the Hon'ble Apex Court and held that in
unabated or concluded assessment, the AO cannot
make any additions in the absence of any incriminating
material found as a result of the search, in our
considered view, particularly in the case of unabated or
concluded assessments, and since the AO cannot tinker
with unabated or concluded assessments in the
absence of any incriminating material, with equal force,
the same ratio should be applicable to the assessee as
well. Thus, based on the findings of the Hon'ble Apex
Court, in our considered view, the appellant also cannot
make any fresh claim of deduction or expenditure for the
first time in the return of income filed in response to the
notice issued under Section 153A of the Act. Insofar as the
abated assessment is concerned, the assessee can make
:39:
ITA Nos. 1717 to 1720/Hyd/2017 &
ITA No.1722/Hyd/2017
all claims, provided the return of income is filed in
adherence to the timeline to furnish as per notice under
Section 153A of the Act, failing which the assessee shall
not be able to claim any deduction in view of Section 80A
of the Act.
