SIR HOW TO SELECTED CASES THROUGH CASS PLEASE SEND DATAILS
These are guidelines for selection during FY 2010-11. What about current year. Are they following the same guidelines because notices for AY 2010-11 have commenced.
Case of an assessee (society) selected in CASS since last 5 years claiming deduction under section 80P including AY 2010-11. Scrutiny assessment for AY 2009-10 is pending and all earlier years’ scrutiny assessment resulting nil demand.
I don’t understand why this case selected for the 5th year in row under CASS. This is something wastage of manpower of Income-tax Department. Is there something wrong in CASS system ?
sir,
What is the full form of cass
Has CASS been completed for FY 2009-10 returns filed till July 2010?
Well, I believe that this is not the complete inoformation , coz., we do not see any other specific criteria. The reasons cited above are those which a man with some common sense can infer himself. I mean where is the mention that if the Co. has taken so much of loan or subscription from single person, etc. then scrutinize that case. Such criteria exists for earlier years , then why not for this year
Does any one knows what were the crietaria for CASS assement this year , i.e weather it is increase in income or mutual funds above 2 lacs??
in my bank account cash are deposited which are company’s maoney that are withdrawn immediately.is that amount ia taxable in my return
The cass have selected the cases of income-tax returns filed either through e-filing or manual and a list of the same has already been forwarded to the concerned income-tax offices.
thanks
