12 February 2013 The person should demonstrate that whatever claim for deduction of expenses made, was on bonafide belief of the assessee and there was no concealment of income made by made by the assessee.

in the normal course of practice, the AO mostly initiate or levies the penalties, which is not final always.

In this case, if the notice is issued u/s. 274, then a proper reply letter should be filed by the assessee before the AO, explaining and justifying all the facts and circumstances of the case.

13 February 2013 The AO has power to make best judgement assessment u/s.144 or reassessment u/s. 147. The assessee has no option to file any reply for notices received, as time barred, it will not be accepted.

Better course of action is to discuss with the AO about the facts and circumstances and close it.
