19 June 2013 Sir, on27/03/2013 the income tax department had issued notice to my mother under section 148 for income chargable to tax for the assement year 2006-07 has escaped within the meaning of section 147 of the income tax act.

In feb.2006 I and my 3 brothers had entered into a joint development agreement with a builder.as my elder brother was expired my mother was included in this agreement with out any share in the builtup area.till now my mother has no property in her name nor any income.the IT dept. has not issued notice to we 3 brothers till now.

please clarify if the notice is issued on us, is it valid after the lapse of 6 yrs.If the notice is issued what should we do.

20 June 2013 1.the notice us 148 should clearly state amount escaped assessment.

2.Prior approval of authority concerned should be obtained before issuing notice.

3.6 years not elapsed as 6 years from the end of AY 2006-07 end only in 31.3.2013

4.you should file return for your mother show nil income and ask for reasons for issue of notice.
