2022 (3) TMI 899 - AT - Income TaxAssessment u/s 153A - Additions on account of certain items of income - whether addition apparently was not made based on seized materials - search and seizure operation under section 132 - HELD THAT:- We are convinced that the addition of agricultural income as income from other sources was not based on any incriminating/seized material found as a result of search. Even, the disallowance of loss claimed against house property income is also not with reference to any seized material. It is a fact on record that on the date of search, the assessment proceedings relating to the impugned assessment years did not abet As per the ratio laid down by the Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT vs. Kabul Chawla [2015 (9) TMI 80 - DELHI HIGH COURT] in a proceeding under section 153A of the Act, addition has to be made on the basis of seized/incriminating materials found as a result of search. Since, the decision of the Assessing Officer to treat the agricultural income as income from other sources and disallowance of loss claimed against house property income are not based on incriminating/seized material, no such addition/disallowance could have been made by the Assessing Officer. Accordingly, we delete the addition/disallowance made on account of agricultural income and set off of loss against house property income - Assessee appeal allowed.
