Foreman (to quote his blog profile) “is a translator and poet who has been obsessed with languages and literature since childhood”; you should check out his translation blog, with lots of poems accompanied by his translations (and sometimes audio files of him reading the original) in languages from Arabic to Yiddish.

Section 115BBE ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS SECTION OF THE IT ACT.

My story belongs to Sec 115BBE one of the most dangerous section of the Income Tax Act 1961, and my story belongs to Appeal to Income Tax Applleate Tribunal against an order of CIT appeals.

Actually one of My case lying with an ITO regarding Cash on Demonitisation.
QUESTION NO 1) Should i proceed to ITAT against an order of CIT APPEALS for vacate of any demand arising under section 115BBE or not for a cash on demonitisation case and why ?
QUESTION NO 2) Should i move to CIT APPEALS AGAINST AN ORDER OF ITO for charging of penalty with tax under sec 115BBE during a Cash on demonitisarion case ? or Should i pay the whole amount of tax with fine which an ITO demands with penalty as tax on regular assessment and Why ?
QUESTION NO 3) What is the latest update of Sec 115BBE ?
QUESTION NO 4) Is there any probability of Special Audit during a cash on demonitisation case lying with CIT APPEALS and why ?
QUESTION NO 5 ) Is there any probability of relief of tax, if i move to CIT APPEALS OR EVEN to ITAT for vacate any demand arising out of Cash on demonitisation case Sec 115BBE ?

Disclaimer :- Only A qualified CA & CMA can answer to this query ( based on his/her practical approach ).

Hello,
*I have not shown nil/exempted sales separately in GSTR3b.
*GSTR1 has been filed with correct data.
*That means from total sales the figures for Nil/exempt sales which i had to report separately in GSTR3B return i have added up the figure with taxable sales.
*There is no issue of tax payments, as taxes are calculated and paid correctly.

My question is do i need to anything else to rectify this mistake.


Thanking You
