Query | The assessment was done u/s 143(3) and addition was made. Tax and up to date interest was mentioned in the order issued by ITO. No search was done on the assessee. An appeal is pending. We filed for VSV and have received Form-3 mentioning the total amount of Tax as well as interest amount up to the date of order issued by ITO. A footnote on the Form-3 says that this has been treated as search case based on the information during search of some other assessee and Q no. 70 in FAQs applies.
