- Paid INR 20,000
Hello,
my case came under scrutiny by the Income Tax Department. I met the assessing officer and presented him with the relevant papers. He then contacted my CA and asked him for the bribe. My CA had no info on the scrutiny since I was directly dealing with the IT officer.
There is a major nexus in the income tax department with the CAs. The IT Officers never ask an anybody for a bribe, they always route the bribe deal through the CAs. There needs to be a legislation where the ITOs are not permitted to call or interact with CAs without a specific mandate from the client and all interaction between the CAs and ITOs should only be through written communication.
