The comments of the Supreme Court of the country have come to light regarding the New Delhi Income Tax Act. The apex court has said in one of its important decisions that the changes made in the Income Tax Act in 2015 will be applicable in the case of earlier searches also. 

The court said that the change made under Section 153C of the Act will also be applicable in the cases before the date of change, that is, the changed law will be effective in the earlier search cases also. 

Under the order of the Supreme Court, the change made under Section 153C of the Income Tax Act on June 1, 2015, will also be applicable in the case of searches done before this date. 

There is a provision in Section 153C of the Act that the Income Tax Department can also act against the person about whom information has been received during the search.

After this change, the department has got the right to take steps against such third person also if his name appears in the material found in the search.
