02 October 2012 If you dont produce all the accounts and documents and do not cooperate in the scrutiny procedure then the AO shall make a best judgement assessment on you u/s 144. And then the AO on his own will determine the tax payble.

03 October 2012 Affidavit is not covered under the defination of records and accounts.
Hence AO will go for sec 144.

03 October 2012 I suggest you the better way.... Meet your auditor and show him all the accounts and records which you are afraid to produce before the AO. He will suggest you that what should be done and how.
