Good instructions.
i would add that the ministry need to tell their assessment officers should not transgress their own Act called income tax Act 1961, many times the officers fail to understand their own jurisdiction which is controlled by limitation sections like sec 143(2)(ii), that way unnecessary litigation can be avoided that means unnecessary expenditure by revenue from tax payers funds which form the national exchequer, besides saving unnecessary expenses even for the tax payers, that way economy can run on even keel is my view .
I want to be benefitted by your by your updating knowledge in taxation.
Your updating the recent developments in Taxation is much commendable and it is invaluable asset to the professionals
pleas add my Mail I.D. TO YOUR MAILING LISTS—-thanks
