RTI - reply

[BAL KRISHAN GARG]

Respected Rama Krishna Ji , Thanks for your valuable explanations .I recall your suggestions against this particular issue dt.18/7/2009 and 19/07/2009 in which you have given advice not to panic in the case . But the things which was in my favour up to 18/07/2009 have gone against me for just because I had not met and settled with the auditors. This is practical situation where honest man is no right to ask for justice .Where all the documents submitted before the authority and no single paper is against the assessee and all papers showing that this is a completely job work case not of a labour supply from the angel of papers also .Receipient also confirmed it in writing to the AC that Mr.A was doing job of Powder coated paints on body of geysers and fans on piece rate basis and doing job work as specified work not for various manufacturing activities as claimed in the show cause notice . Now My first query is whether I should reply first and then ask for the copies of letter of the observations made by the concerned AC and writter to his higher authority under RTI as Information called under RTI means time may be finish to give the reply against SCN .What is your advice ? Is there any chance that the letter which i have seen could be dumped intentionally by someone only just because they have send SCN ? May i meet you throug e-mail or personally and whether you can give any consultancy in the matter so the honest man who have not done any crime can get justice ? What will be your charges for the same ? please tell me . awaiting your reply . Thanks a lot BAL KRISHAN GARG e-mail id : [email protected]

Things take its own course. Before, filing any reply you may seek time to file reply on the basis of pending information - or you file the reply without waiting the copy of letter of AC. If you are sure that your case is of complete job work and not of labour supply, I am of the opinion that you would win ultimately at appropriate level.

AI Summary

Right to information: seek extension or file reply to a show cause notice while awaiting RTI documents to protect defence. The adviser counsels that an assessee served with a show cause notice may either seek an extension to file a reply while awaiting information under the Right to Information Act, or file the reply without delay if existing records already demonstrate the position. The note stresses that documentary gaps or withheld internal communications can prejudice the defence, and highlights that establishing the transaction as bona fide job work rather than labour supply is the decisive factual point.
