Section 132(4) IT Act | Confessions During Search Require Corroboration; Admissions Alone Insufficient for Income Addition : Madras HC
Madras High Court rules that admissions made under Section 132(4) of the Income Tax Act during search proceedings cannot independently justify additions to undisclosed income. The court emphasized the need for corroborative evidence, setting aside additions related to deemed dividends and long-term capital gains due to lack of proof, reinforcing safeguards against self-incrimination in tax assessments.
