Declaration of undisclosed income to "buy peace" does not renders an assessee immunity from initiation and levy of penalty


Quick Summary
This document explores the implications of declaring undisclosed income during Income Tax searches. It clarifies that admitting such income, even to 'buy peace' or avoid litigation, does not automatically grant immunity from penalties. The analysis delves into the legal principles, including promissory estoppel, and highlights Supreme Court rulings that emphasise the assessee's responsibility to provide valid explanations, rather than relying solely on such declarations. This is crucial reading for taxpayers facing search and seizure proceedings.
