01 July 2011 I am a salaried employee in Pvt. Ltd companhy. I got a notice u/s 143(2) regarding for return filed for FY 2008-09, in August 2010. I personally met the assessing officer and he asked me to come with more details. After that I got a notice u/s 142(1) in May 2011 and I was asked to submit documents regarding my income, IT return, Form 16, Bank Statements, Demat account details etc, which I submitted.

Now the officer is asking for documents regarding my credit card purchases, payment of which have been made through cheque from my account and various payments made by cheque for other expenses. All these expenses are less than Rs. 10,000 each.

I would like to know:

1. Why was I chosen for scrutiny u/s 143(2) & 142(1) ?
2. Is the officer justified in seeking details of my expenses made by cheque? I thought IT was concerned about only income, exemption claimed and return filed. Once income is shown why would IT be interested in where I spend it?

Thanks,

01 July 2011 Scrutiny assessments are selected by the computers and the assessing officer has got no hand in it. If your case has been selected for scrutiny then you have to submit all the details as required by the assessing officer. You cannot deny any of the details as being asked by him as it is as per law. The notices are also issued as per law and within time.

So kindly co-operate with the A.O. and file all the details.
