Yes, 

The mahazar serves as proof of occasion, cause or effect of facts, coming under section 7 and 9 of the Indian Evidence Act. It is a descripttion of facts and state of things which an investigating officer observes in a scene of crime..

The court also relies upon charge sheet filed by the officer.

Which means as per 'income tax rules / acts' , recording of mahazar is not compulsory.. if a survey has been completed without recording mahazar it wont become invalid..right?

Without recording along with witness attestation, the recording has least value, it gets easily challenged in court.
