I ALSO SUGGEST ICAI (FINANCIALS) TO INCORPORATE IN GUIDANCE NOTE THAT AUDIT UNDER 2ND PROVISO TO SECTION 44AB OF INCOME-TAX ACT BE KEPT OUTSIDE THE CEILING FIXED. IN FACT TILL MANDATING OF TAR TO BE UPLOADED, WE NON-CAS WERE SOME HOW MANAGING THE WRONGFUL ACTIONS.
CA CONDUCTING TAX AUDIT FOR REVENUE CAN NOT APPEAR FOR THE SAME CLIENT IN SCRUTINY PROCEEDINGS. I SUGGEST ICAI (FINANCIALS) TO INCORPORATE THE SAME IN GUIDANCE NOTE ISSUED FOR TAX AUDIT TO WIN THE CONFIDENCE OF PUBLIC & ALSO TO UP HOLD TRANSPARENCY
RECENTLY DIT (SYSTEMS) GAVE REPLY TO RTI APPLICATION SEEKING SECTION WISE WRONG CLAIMS IN TAX AUDIT REPORT UPLOADED FOR ASSET. YEAR 2013-14 AS UNDER:-
NO SUCH DATA HAS BEEN CAPTURED IN THE SYSTEMS DIRECTORATE AS SECTION WISE WRONG CLAIMS REPORTED IN TAX AUDIT REPORT FROM NO.3CD AND TOTAL AMOUNT INVOLVED IN VIOLATION OF PROVISIONS OF INCOME-TAX LAW REPORTED IN EACH COLUMN NO.17,21,23,24 & 27 OF TAX AUDIT REPORT FORM NO.3CD. ACCORDINGLY THIS IS NOT INFORMATION AS PER SECTION 2(1) OF RTI ACT, 2005 AND THUS CAN NOT BE PROVIDED.
WHY ABOVE SITUATION IN SPITE OF ICAI MEMBERS FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE NOTE ?
