             "Filing of Nil Statement in form No. 61A is not mandatory under section 285BA read with rule 114E ,,,,,,,,,, but to be on safer side Assessee may consider filing such return.
Further to maintain consistency Assessee who has filed Annual Information Return for Financial Year 2015-16 may consider filing such return for financial year 2016-17 too despite no specified transaction in Financial Year 2016-17." : CA Sundeep Kanoi.
