Reassessment proceedings in search-related group cases were upheld as valid, with initiation and notices sustained following coordinate-bench precedent and applicable procedural provisions. For receipts characterised as unaccounted 'on money', only the profit element is taxable and the appropriate benchmark rate for estimation was fixed at 10%, reducing higher departmental estimates. Unaccounted profit arising on sale of immovable property must be recognised and taxed in the year of actual sale (execution/registration of the sale deed) where risks and rewards transfer; ICDS III was held inapplicable to the assessee. Confirmed estimated unaccounted profit was permitted to be set off (telescoped) against additions for alleged advances/expenses, avoiding double taxation.
