Dear Friends, 

One of my colleague filled online ITR-1 for the the A.Y. 2013-14 and reduced salary by Rs. 100000/- in ITR and got refund of Rs. 21000/- approx. Now Assessing officer issued a notice and asked the reason for showing less salary in ITR comparing to Form-16 and asked why he should not take action u/s 276C(1) and 277 which having imprisonment of Minimum 3 months and Maximum 3 Years. Now what steps he can take to solve this issue kindly advise. Thanking you.

If there is a reasonable cause of reducing the Salary by 1 Lakhs then you can reply the same

Form 16 shows more salary? How can the person simply understate one lakh? Pls give reasons. Only way if the assesse is at fault is to approach cit and offer 100000 for tax and plead for compunding of prosecution. Kindly ans to the question. If he willfully commited mistake and took refund i think case on your side is weak.
