SHARING A BRIEF WRITE UP – NO CLEAR GUIDELINES FOR SEIZURE OF JEWELLERY FOUND DURING SEARCH AND ITS ASSESSMENT THEREON :<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Vide\u00a0CBDT Instruction no. 1916 dated 11-05-1994, it has been clarified that no seizure should be made by the Search Party of the Jewellery and Ornaments found during the course of search proceedings under Section 132, where the same have been duly declared in the Wealth-tax Returns filed by the taxpayer or where such ornaments are within the prescribed limits of 100, 250 or 500 grams as stated in the said instruction.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Even where no seizure is made during the Search, following the spirit of the aforesaid instructions of the CBDT, in several cases, Assessing Officers, while finalizing the post-search assessments, make additions treating such Jewellery and Ornaments as undisclosed investment, on the ground that the taxpayer does not possess adequate evidence for acquisition of the same. The various courts have rendered divergent views on the same.<\/p>\n
