    <title>Reassessment under s.153A quashed; documents treated as business records, no transfer under s.2(47), assessment restored</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93069</link>
    <description>The HC affirmed the ITAT&#039;s allowance of the assessee&#039;s appeal, holding that reassessment framed under s.153A could not be sustained. The tribunal correctly determined that documents retrieved on search-board resolutions, legal notes, valuation reports, deeds of retirement, reconstitution indentures and retirement-cum-release instruments-were business records and not incriminating material. There was no evidence of concealment, nor did the conversion of the partnership to a company constitute a capital asset &quot;transfer&quot; as contemplated by s.2(47). Consequently, consequential reassessment proceedings lacked jurisdictional and substantive basis and were quashed, with the assessment restored in favour of the assessee.</description>
