A notice in respect of 2012-13 As. Yr. was issued to my father as an assessee. This notice was issued in the year 2014 itself. My Father ignored these notices despite repeated reminders. No called fr information was provided by father. My father passed away on 28.08.2016. Now I have received similar notice 133 (6) in the name my father frm the ITO (assessment).
Question is Shall I ignore this notice as I don't know any details / information of my father's transactions as sought by the ITO.
R Shall I reply only to the extent of intimating the ITO the fact of death of my father & plead ignorance as stated above
What is the consequence of not addressing such notices.
Pls let me know what I am supposed to do as three matter is very urgent. He has fixed the date as 15.05.2017 fr my father's appearance.

You must file a reply to the notice immediately and also appear before the ITO and tell him that the notice has lost relevance as father has already expired and as such proceedings have to be dropped. Also express your inability to explain the transactions as you do not know of them. You may also take the help of some good tax consultant of your area and appear with him.

Thanks Mr. Goyal. Will do the same. all along i was thinking in those terms only, but for the consequences. In view of pleading ignorance now by me about my father's transactions, can the ITO further order for a probe including Survey under Section 133A.
