Requirement of books of account u/s 142(1)(ii)
This query is : Resolved
20 June 2016
Notice u/s 142(1) for the A.Y. 2014-15 (P.Y. 2013-14).
During the discussion, ITR, Computation and other documents pertaining to the P.Y. 2012-13 were ordered.
As per Section 142(1)(ii), no books of accounts pertaining to a period more than 3 years prior to the previous year shall be required by the A.O.
Firstly the section is unclear about whether the clause of 3 years is with respect to the Notice or production of books of accounts.
Secondly Previous year here means the P.Y. in which notice is issued i.e. 2016-17 OR the P.Y. referred i.e. 2013-14 to in the Notice.
Can someone enlighten me?

a practical approach : the moment you start quarreling about the books of previous year 2012-13, the suspecion in the minds of assessing officer will get increased. Please never forget the limit of 6 years for notice u/s 148..... even if you win at 142...what about 148 which he may issue in due course.......so a practical approach is......produce the books as and when demanded
