Kapoor Industries Ltd. v. CPC (2025) 238 TTJ 798 (Delhi)(Trib.)

S. 132B: Application of seized or requisitioned assets-Search and Seizure-Adjustment of seized cash against self-assessment tax was allowed. [S. 132, 140A]

Cash seized during the search after the close of the financial year was claimed by the assessee towards self-assessment tax liability. The Tribunal held that Explanation 2 to section 132B prohibits adjustment only against advance tax and not against self-assessment tax. Since the seized cash belonged to the assessee and no defect notice was issued for non-payment of self-assessment tax, adjustment of the seized cash towards self-assessment tax was allowable. (AY. 2024-25.)
