Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that a search and seizure under Section 67 of the CGST Act does not preclude an audit under Section 65 for the same year. While both powers are independent, any audit must follow the specific procedures outlined in Section 65. The potential for duplicated effort or rights infringements depends on the case's unique circumstances.
Based on the information provided, if a search and seizure is conducted under Section 67 of the CGST Act, it does not prevent an audit from being conducted under Section 65 for the same year. However, the audit would have to be carried out in accordance with the procedures and timeframes specified in Section 65. Any duplication of effort or potential infringement of rights during the course of these proceedings would depend on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.
