Mr. Rama Krishna dont reproduce the provisons of Income Tax here....any body can go and read it...its better if u solve the query and make referrence of section only....

Mr. Dipesh, your attention is drawn to Mr. chirag's query wherein he has asked to provide relevant clause of the act. so the same is provided. moreover, you please give replies relevant to the query asked. the query is about what would be the consequences if the assessee does not file ROI in response to notice under section 148 and not about non-compliance to notice under section 142(1) or 143(2).

Mr. Rama Krishna, if i have wrongly answered thn u should correct it instead of reproducing the Income tax law becoz i hv already make a reference of that....if u really want to answer the question thn u should make me correct .....

Mr. dipesh, Mr. chirag asked for relevant clause of the act. since you have posted only a part of section 144 , I posted the entire provisions of section 144. this is because chirag had specifically asked for it. one more thing, I'M not the person one who replies by copying and pasting from income-tax act

Sorry to say Mr. Rama Krishnan, bt i think wt u have said in 4 para i have already mentioned in 1 para and i have also mention the section along with sub section . I hv provided wt is necessary for him to clear his doubt. Thn wt the benfit of providing him full Provision...if he need more clarity he can read section 144(1)......And for the word Copy Paste i didnt mentioned anywhere that u have copy paste...u hv tell it from ur own ....and for ur clarity yes u have copy section 144(1) and paste here becoz ur language is exaclty wt it is written in bare Act....no person can learn one to one word...it proves that u have copy and paste it.....

144 best judgement orders will be passed under section 144(1)(a) if the assessee fails to ROI in response to notice under section 148. similarly under section 144(1)(b) and 144(1)(c) if assessee fails to comply to the provisions of 142(1) and 143(2) respectively.

I think you didn't understand my reply.. the person who raised the query requested to post the relevant clauses of the act (I. e. the bare act) and the same is posted as per Mr chirag's request.

it's of no use of accusing each other.. let mr. chirag clarify what exactly he asked for..
