one of my client is a trust register on 25/6/2006. The return of income was filed on 31/10/2007 for AY 2007-08. The trust is duly registered u/s 12AA of the act.
Now on 25/4/2008 the officer issued notice u/s 142 of the act asking to submit 1) return of income for A.Y. 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 2) copy of PAN card 3) copy of 12AA certificate 4) minutes books for last three years.
no notice u/s 143(2) of the act is recived intimationg selection for scrutiny.
Now my query is: Whether the officer can ask submission of minutes books etc. for last three years though case is not selected for scrutiny
2) whether the officer can issue notice u/s 142 only on the basis of registration with trust authority to file return of income though the income does not exceeds minimum exempted limit.
