....43(3). Therefore it was contended that these assessments can be disturbed only if incriminating material is found in the course of search. He highlighted the fact that both the additions made with regard to unaccounted sales and disallowance u/s.10B has no relevance whatsoever to any material found in the course of search. The addition made towards unaccounted sales is based on the showcause notice issued by DRI and not based on any incriminating material found during the course of search. Since the addition in question have been made without any reference to any incriminating material found as a result of search, both the additions made by the AO deserves to be deleted. 8.

For assessment year 2009-10 the assessee raised a ground (Ground 9) contending the tax credit of Rs.22,23,680 paid by the assessee during regular assessment. We in this regard direct the assessing officer to verify and allow the tax credit accordingly. 14. We will now take up ITA No.761 and 762/Bang/2021, relating to AY 2014-15 and 2015-16 for adjudication. In these assessment years similar addition relating unaccounted sales to the income declared in the return of income filed u/s.153A of the Act was made by the AO. These additions in these two AYs will not fall within the ambit of the ratio laid down by the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in the case of M/S.Delhi International Airport Ltd. (supra). Therefore we will adjudicate these two appeals based on merits. 15.

We notice that the assessing officer issued the notice under section 153A on 12.08.2015 which is the same day as that of the show cause notice issued by DRI.
