This query is : Resolved
I was working in Trivandrum till April 2010. As ours is a transferable job from mid-April 2011 I am working in Mumbai because of my transfer. I had filed my IT return on July 2011 for the assessment year 2011-12 in Mumbai. But now I have received a letter from Trivandrum ITO asking me to appear in person (under sec 142(2) ) quoting the return what I had filed in Mumbai . What should I do? I cannot immediately go to TVM due to official commitments. Kindly advise.

Don't take risk for not attending the Assessing Officer on due date, otherwise, the AO can take a serious view assuming that your case pertains to concealment of income.
Notice under Sec. 142(2) is issued just for the purpose of obtaining full information in respect of the income or loss of any person, where the Assessing Officer may make such enquiry as he may consider necessary.
