04 September 2016 Why are you worrying about it if the taxable income us less than the limit.income tax would not harass you if you are straight forward.I will tell you one incident
One of our customer received a letter from income tax authority as his cash deposit exceeded Rs10 lakhs on a FY
When the assesse went to income tax office the department were cordial with him
And department said it is only a usual letter and allowed him to go
Income tax has a method of collecting the information this is through annual information return and automated data flow and if you are straight forward income tax authority would understand it
