Section 96(a)(i) of the Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Scheme was held to exclude only assessments made under the specified search provisions under Sections 132 or 132A. Where the department itself recorded that the reassessment under Section 147 was founded on material impounded during survey under Section 133A, and the earlier Section 153C proceedings had been dropped, the exclusion could not be extended by combining the discarded search-based proceedings with the later survey-based reassessment.
