Wrong financial details provided in 148a

Dear experts I believe that income tax has posted wrong financial figures in the income tax notice under section 148 .Against capital gains (shares transaction) 

My question is whether there is a possibility that income tax department  posted an error or is it if I am missing something

Thanks

Quick Summary
If you've received an income tax notice under section 148a with incorrect financial details, particularly regarding capital gains, it's possible the department has made an error. They rely on information from various institutions, which can sometimes be inaccurate or misinterpreted. You'll need to provide documentary evidence to prove the figures are wrong. It's advisable to be diligent in your response and consider seeking professional help to ensure the department understands the correct position and avoid potential demands and penalties.

there can be a possibility that the information is not correct. In such cases, you have to prove that the information with them is incorrect, with documentary evidence.

Dear Hari,

Department is often wrong in interpretation of data received by them. This is specially true for capital gains, cash deposits. We have seen in multiple cases where same transaction is reported to them multiple times and they just add it up. in one case, same sale of a house was counted up 6 times and added to the income of the assessee.

You need to be very diligent about how you reply to such notices and ensure that the Income-tax department understands the correct position. If not dealt well, it could lead to significant demand plus penalty proceedings. Other day itself we had a query where penalty proceedings were issued despite no addition made in the reassessment proceedings. 

Take professional help if you can afford.
