The assesse is a salaried employee based in Delhi currently working in Pune.
His Jurisdiction office and AO is in Pune.
ITRs have been filed for all the previous years and processed too.
The assesse receives a summon under section 131 of Income tax act, 1961 at his native place, home (Delhi) to be present at the Delhi ITR office (which is not his jurisdiction office) with all his books of accounts, bank statements, and other financial assets details of himself and his relatives failure of which will result in a penalty of Rs. 10,000.
Questions:-
1. Can Summon be sent by AO outside his jurisdiction?
2. Can a family member represent him for the summon?
3. If the summon is for representation as a Witness for some other case as a third party is he required to disclose all the financial information required by AO of him and his relatives?
4. Can the case be transferred to Pune jurisdiction going forward?

will have to disagree: the jurisdictional area in 131(1A) is based on physical jurisdictional area of the AO and not the PAN jurisdiction. Please note the difference of assessment jurisdiction and 131(1A) jurisdiction.
Please refer Judgment of Allahabad High Court in the WRIT TAX No. - 1255 of 2010.
Even a small connection to the jurisdictional space of the AO such as bank a/c etc is sufficient link.
