Congmen playing role in making Congress-mukt Bharat?
Senior and dedicated Congressmen gathered at the residence of an old party leader. They expressed concern that some Congressmen are playing major role in PM Modi's call to make Bharat Congress mukt. Party leaders like Shashi Tharoor and Janardan Dwivedi have praised PM Modi openly, not only sending a wrong message to party but encouraging other disgruntled leaders. This is not a healthy situation. These loyal leaders also expressed concern why party high command is mum.

Bad reopening of assessment: a safe source of bribe for income tax authorities:

If income has escaped assessment, an income tax authority can reopen the case, after recording reasons for doing so, that the income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment. Such reason must be duly recorded in writing and such written satisfaction is the sole basis to confer jurisdiction on the IT authority. If the reasons are not properly recorded, whole case fails in appeal.

Some IT authorities willfully does not record such reasons properly and levies tax. The Assessee ultimately wins on the ground of bad reopening. In the process IT Authority can easily and safely earn the bribe.

Presently there is no audit of reasons recorded nor there is any vigilance action for unsatisfactory recording of reasons for reopening.

Whole department is silent on this issue and the scam is going on regularly. Thousands of assessments get quashed in appeal every year on the ground that reopening is not valid. An empty formality is done for taxing the assessee, which ultimately is to result in zero tax for income tax department and unnecessarily flooding High Courts with writ petition.

Will the CBDT look into this and will CAG start auditing reasons recorded by AO and raise objections for flimsy reasons recorded. Will vigilance wing be active on this front.
Thousands of lakhs of rupees extra revenue can be collected if this scam is checked.
