The Central Government today informed that the names of chartered accountants who are not co-operating with the Department may be reported.
A letter issued in the name of Dr. John Joseph, Special Secretary and Member, stated that with regard to verification discrepancies in Trans-1 data, the assesses have reported certain objections such as migration to State department, delay in retrieving data which are kept in their head quarters, absence of data to compare and confirm the authenticity of the collected data etc.
Some have reported that the assessee has directed his CA to file the return and the CA is out of station. With regard to this, the Secretary pointed out that “the CA may not be going on leave for a long time especially in the month of December as they should be busy filing the IT returns hence they may be contacted and data should be collected from them. The names of CAs who are not cooperating with the department along with the name of companies being handled by them may be intimated to the Office.”
It was also directed that the names assesses who are refusing to submit data due to migration to the State Department shall be indicated to the Office.
