Dear Sanjeev,

SCN can be issued upto minimum of 1 year from the date of filing of return..

Further,, As per Sec 73(3), if assessee has deposited the amount voluntarily then Officer shall not issue SCN...

This is just a SCN & not a penalty order hence u can explain grounds on which payments was delayed and if officer finds that as reasonable then he will not impose penalty..

Dear Amir

pls reply since i have posted another thread mentioning full facts
