27 December 2012 Can Assessing Officer ask for the documents and source of income for expenses incurred before more than 8 years from the AY of which assessment is pending?

27 December 2012 Although in the act it is prescribed that any year's detail since 1961 can be asked by the authorities. But practically they do not open a case older than 6 years because they themself dont mantain the records older than 6 years.
