19 June 2016 Dear Sir,

I have been selected for IT scrutiny under CASS and received notice 143(2).

I am out of town and want to send another person to AO with all my docs.

Will I have to give authorization letter to the person in stamp paper. or is only giving the authorization letter in plain paper is sufficient.

Do I need a wakalatnama for this, so that the other person who will visit can present my case to OA in my absence.

Please let me know.

Thanks
