only in search or seizer u/s 132


21 December 2013 Sir, can you give reference of some proviso in this regard from the Income Tax Act?

21 December 2013 yes. search can be conducted for 142(1) notices.

please read 132(1)(a).

21 December 2013 Thank You Sir.

I have read the section.

Nikhil sir, the assessee has submitted all the required books of accounts and relevant documents asked by the A.O. , can still he visit the premises?

21 December 2013 Powers are vested ib Ao u/s 142(1)..there is no restriction on him if he is satidfied that books of acccounts are vague or maintained as to defeat the provision of law then ao can visit in this case also.

21 December 2013 well I believe Tushar has covered the response well enough.

21 December 2013 But sir, in my case, he has not expressed a view that the books are vague or maintained as to defeat the provisions of law.

21 December 2013 he may not tell u but can investigate it without u knowing also.
