Assessment u/s 153A - The undisputed position in this case is that the IO and AO are not one and the same. The last of the authorisations in this case is on 04.09.2018 and the seized materials ought to have been handed over, in terms of Section 132(9A) on or before 03.11.2018. Admittedly, the handing over has been only on 20.08.2019, more than nine months beyond the stipulated date. Though this constitutes a gross procedural irregularity, it does not, in my considered view, vitiate the notices issued, as assuming a situation where the handover had been within time, the notices might still have been issued only on 01.11.2019. Thus, the jurisdiction assumed cannot be faulted on this score. - HC
