- A Search and Seizure action was carried out on the residence of Mr. X and his Group Company premises.
- In pursuance of the said search, the Dept has issued notices u/s 148 for A.Y. 2013-14 onwards to various entities.
- In light of the same, Certain Notices are issued in the name of Y and Co Private Limited’ which had merged with Z and Co Limited; Writ Petitions against the same are filed in light of Maruti Sukuzi (SC) and Alok Knit Exports Pvt Ltd (Bom HC).
- M/s. T Private Limited is also been issued with a similar notice which is also converted to M/S. U LLP; Writ Petition is to be filed for the same.
The issue at hand is:
-
- Whether Notices for A.Y. 2013-14 to A.Y. 2016-17 can be challenged on grounds of First Proviso to Section 149 r.w.s. Section 153A, considering the fact that the department has merely issued a one-pager notice without establishing the fact that income escaping assessment is 50 Lakhs or more.
- Whether a Notice u/s 148 should be issued in the name of Resultant LLP or the Convertee Pvt Ltd Company for the year in which the conversion took place?
