07 July 2008 If the assessing officer has reason to believe that any income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment for any assessment year which has come to his knowledge, he can assess it again by issuing a notice to the assessee concerned. The assessee has to be given an opportunity to respond.

07 July 2008 The first issue is wether you had reflected your share trading in the orignal return filed??

It appears that you had disclosed loss from share trading .........but you had not furnished audit report u/s 44AB ,for which fine is upto one lac .

Assuming above , you should file audit report now and prove reasonable cause for delay ...........if proved no fine will be levied.
