Dear Expert, my friend is a assessee & filled a Income Tax return in HUF.Tax was calculated by the dept. Then Tax also paid, again Dept. send the notice for interest u/s. 220, but he is not paid.Then Dept send the notice to the bank that attach all the accounts & FDRs of assessee & relatives of the assessee. Can Dept. attached the accounts & FDRs of relatives of the assessee, who filled return in HUF?

UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES DEPT CAN NOT ATTACH RELATIVES. THERE HAS TO BE SOME THING ELSE IN YOUR CASE WHICH NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO WHAT MADE THE TRO ATTACH RELATIVES

As per my knowledge, If there is any demand pending and not paid within the given time then the department can attach the assets of assessee, but not of relatives. Or there must be an appeal filed against the order. An opportunity is also given to assessee for being heard.
