Hello members,
i have received I-T notice u/s 143(2)/142(1) for the assessment year 2012-13.
I have submitted my return for the A.Y. 2012-13 on 18/06/2012 and the same was processed by CPC on 21/12/2012.
I got the notice on 24/09/2013 u/s 143(2)/142(1).Then again on 14/10/2014 i received the pending assessment notice in this connection only:-
1)Is it a valid notice considering time frame?
2)Is the ITR once processed by CPC be questioned by assessing officer as in my case?
3)A.O. has asked me to furnish details of all my family members with regard to their occupation and Annual income with source.Can he ask for such details or can i decline to submit such details u/s 143(2)/142(1)?
4)How should i reply to such notice?

As Shahu said, 143(2) is scrutiny notice and A.O can issue the same before expiry of six months from the end of financial year in which you furnished return. In your case as you filed your return in F.Y 2012-13, A.O can issue 143(2) before 30/09/2013. So you can not defend validity of notice on basis of time frame. Further you or your auditor need to attend on date and time mentioned in 143(2) notice with information prescribed in notice. If you failed to attend on such date, A.O can make Best Judgment Assessment u/s.144 or u/s.143(3) based on information he had. If you assessed u/s.144, you will not be refunded any claim even though you are legally entitled to receive as per IT Provisions.
