2015 (11) TMI 62 - AT - Income TaxAdjustment of seized cash against self assessment tax liability - determination of tax liability - Held that:- This issue has reached the corridors of various courts as to the legality of the adjustment of seized cash and that itself makes the issue highly debatable and hence in any case cannot be the subject matter of rectification u/s 154 of the Act. It is well settled that an issue which is highly debatable cannot be rectified u/s 154 of the Act. The action of the Learned AO in adjusting the seized cash towards the tax liability determined on completion of search assessment is in order. With regard to charging of interest u/s 234B and 234 C of the Act for non-payment and short payment of advance tax is concerned, we have already held that the amendment in section 132B of the Act is held to be prospective in operation from 1.6.2013 and accordingly not applicable for Asst Year 2006-07. Hence we hold that no interest u/s 234B and 234 C of the Act shall be charged by the Learned AO from the date of seizure of cash to the date of completion of assessment in respect of seized cash of ₹ 20,00,000/-.
