Hi Bharti, The AO can demand details of all the advances. There is no law against acceptance of advances except sec. 269SS which prohibits acceptance of deposits/advances exceeding Rs. 20,000/- in cash. As the quantum of advances is very big therefore request the AO to accept details of some big advances only. Generally during the assessment proceeding , AO asks for details of some big advances only .
