Scrutiny under income tax law

anish (Querist) 29 April 2011 This query is : Resolved
Sir
I received letter dt. 25/08/2010 from ITO that my case is selected for scrutiny u/s 143(2) and the case has been selected through CASS.When i went to dept. in Sep 2010 i was told that currently time-bar cases are considered so i will be called in year 2011. The assessing officer was then transferred and new officer has sent a new letter dt. 5 01. 2011 wherein he has asked very exhaustive details which are mind boggling. In my opinion CBDT has directed that for case selected through CASS only relevant detail pertaining to point under question should be called for and exhaustive details are not to be called for. Am i correct in my contention ? If it is so how can i convey ITO to stick to the point for which scrutiny is called for ?

Dear Mr. Anish,
We do not even know as to what are the information/documents called for by the ITO and whether really mind-boggling or not.
It is one thing that you may not have those details with you. It is quite another to say that the information asked are mind-boggling and therefore I will not be able to give.
If any chartered accountant or other professional is attending to your Income tax matters, better take their advice.
In either case, you are the best judge of the situation. If you really and seriously feel that the ITO is wrong in asking the details which he had asked from you, better reply him what you feel as correct.

If the case is under scrutiny the IT department can call any detail. You have to satisfy that ffice. Better represent through some Tax Consultant Advocate or CA instead of offending the ITO and inviting trouble by working just on guess basis..

I do agree with Ramacandran

You have to justify your return submitted to the income tax authority. It is a debatable issue whether based on CASS an income tax officer can issue notice under section 143 (2).
