Hi guys,
Looking for some advice here. I have encountered a situation whereby I'm stuck and cannot find any answers online. Firstly, I am a non residential Indian and have been so for the past 20 odd years. I have been filing my taxes as mandated by the authorities. I have just received a notice 143(2) and have been asked to meet the AO. I will have a representative go and meet the AO. I have two questions regarding this scenario :
Number 1: being a non resident, I am not taxed on my foreign income (all of which I transfer to financial institutions in india), from what I have understood I have no tax liability due to my residential status. Any idea why my file might have been picked up by CASS?
Number 2: Will the inquiry be limited to the financial year in question or can the AO decide to open up all the information from previous financial years? It's very vague in their requests, so just want to make sure all the required documents are in place to avoid any further delays.
Would really appreciate all your input and help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Samir,
Really appreciate the response. I have not under reported my income and neither have I claimed any losses or tax deductions. So the only basis of my returns are would be letter from employer stating how much I made last year and corresponding bank statements right?

With respect your questions in the first queries are - 1. You have the right to know the reasons for selecting your case for scrutiny. Ask your AO officially to provide the reasons. You or your representative in your behalf can ask for the same. Also check whether the notice specifies type of scrutiny for your case. Is it LIMITED SCRUTINY or COMPLETE SCRUTINY case. The notice so received by you will specify this. If it's a limited scrutiny case the notice will itself mention the reasons.
2. AO has the power to call for last two previous years preceding the previous year for which the scrutiny is in progress. So if the AY 2016-17 is in progress he can ask for books and other documents for FYs 2015-16, 2014-15 and 2013-14
