30 August 2011 I have received a letter from IT office to appear before them in next 2 weeks. As I am presently in China, I will not be able to make this timing. I do understand I can appoint a CA, pay big bucks as their fees and get over this hump but I would like to solve this issue myself when I am in India in next 9 months time. How do you suggest I respectfully handle this query? I had similar query sent to me for last year as well. Irony is, the CA I hired tried charging me hefy fees by using scare tactics which I avoided but when I went to the IT office, it was not at all a big issue! It was an unpleasant experince from this CA. I know not people all are same.

Anyway, my questions are:

a). is there a specific format to reply to such queries when I can not make it there on a specific date or would like to handle this myself when I am back in India?

b). what is the format used by CA's to reply to every transaction listed on the AIR? Is there an excel or other format where I can clarify or how is this to be done? Can some post a sample?

c). what facts I should be sending to the IT office?

d). How can I be sure that the reply has been accepted by the IT office?

Any urgent clarification on the same would be of a great help to me. Take care and god bless.

30 August 2011 First of all you change your notion that CA's are hurdle to get your problems solved. It is not like that. There are several CAs who guide their clients otherwise there would not have been any need of CAS.

If you are unable to appear before any tax authorities then you can file letter of adjournment and the next date will be allowed but not to the extant of 9 months as for the year ended 31.3.2009 all cases shall be time barred by limitation on 31st December, 2011. So either attend personally or authorize someone who can handle your case.
