Has your income-tax return been picked up for scrutiny by the income-tax department? You may not get to know the reason. The department is against bringing scrutiny under the purview of the Right To Information (RTI) Act. This means an assessee will not have the right under the RTI Act to ascertain as why his case was selected for scrutiny by the department.

IT is now an axiomatic law that Board circulars are binding on the Department, even if they are wrong or against decisions of the Supreme Court. But our Boards do not have the habit of tracking down the multitude of circulars they issue and considering whether they are relevant after the Law has been amended and the Apex Court had already ruled on the issue. In the Dhiren Chemicals case (2002-TIOL-83- SC-CX), the Supreme Court had held that if there was a Board Circular which was not in tune with the views of the Supreme Court, the Board Circular would prevail. The whole idea is that the Department should not be seen arguing that the Board was wrong – even if it is wrong, the Departmental officers should be bound by it.
