We got a scrutiny notice on Aug 26th 2009 for the tax year 2007-2008 (IT returns were filed electronically in July 2008).
I heard that scrutiny notice has to be received within 6 months of filing a IT return, is that true? In that case, the scrutiny notice we got on Aug 26th is not valid, correct? How should we approach the case?
What is the best way to find out CA's in hyderabad who have handled scrutiny cases?
Thanks

the notice for scrutiny has to reach the assessee on or befor 30th september. so in ur case the notice has reached u before time i.e.before 30th september 2009. so u cannot escape form scrutiny.
U/S 143(2), scrutiny notice can be sent to the assessee before end of the financial yr which return is furnished...since u filed ur return in 08-09 i.e. July 08, any notice recieved by september 2009 is valid notice. u should respond to it......!!
