Dear All, I am attending a scrutiny case of my company. The company was incorporated on Jan-2012. But in accordance with the Companies Act, our erstwhile Auditor prepared the Balance sheet for 15 months i.e. Jan-12 to Mar-13. But we have not filed the Income tax return for Ass Yr 12-13 for year ending on 31/03/12. The AO is asking me to file the said return along with Balance sheet and pay penalty u/s 271F. I want to know that as i dont have a balance sheet as on 31/03/12 can I take the stand and just file return of income without balance sheet? Senior members, kindly guide me on this.
