Hi friends........Difficult to Locate your Income Tax Ward/ Range/ Circle/ AO code...?? well let me help you to know it online.

Firstly Lets see what is Income Tax Ward/ Range/ Circle/ AO code...?  How and where it is used...???

What is Income Tax Ward/ Range/ Circle/ AO code...?

Can you imagine and count in number how many are paying tax every year..? Actually no....right...? There are more than 3 crore Tax payers in India...To assess these tax payers the Income Tax Department designated few officers to specific areas. These Officers spread over different areas in India and each officer is designated a specified area and a specified category of Taxpayers only. These specified Tax payers fall in the Jurisdiction of that specified officer. 

So the Income Tax Ward/ Range/ Circle/ AO Code is the number that has been assigned to the Income Tax Assessing Officer who would be monitoring your Income Tax Return and in case of any discrepancy, they also have the powers to scrutinize your tax returns and demand for extra payment of taxes if any and if there is any refund that should also be approved by Income Tax officer himself.

Where it is Used......???

These details are to be furnished while......
  • Filing IT returns.

CA Student Hacks IT Account of Shah Rukh, Salman, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni

Hi friends..... doing well with your preparation right...??? But mean while we are coming to know many things about CA students. Other than professional studies how good they are performing in other fields....Is that good....?? How you are going to judge from your end....?? Are you thinking of what I mean to Say....??? Yes Yes.....that is what I mean to say........CA student Hacked the IT Account of.........????? 

Yes as I already mentioned in my previous post that the well known Business tycoon Anil Ambani's IT Account was Hacked. Now Mumbai Police's crime branch have come to know that on Thursday about a Chartered Accountancy (CA) student, who hacked into I-T returns of Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan and cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni.

"We have already set up an inquiry against the CA student who hacked into Anil Ambani's tax returns. As regard the hacking of Bollywood actors and cricketers, we will set up an inquiry against the student," Subodh Agarwal, president, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)
He also said that a newsletter will be issued to make students aware of the consequences and desist them from indulging in such activities.
If found guilty, the Article-ship of the students would be cancelled, following which they would not be able to pursue their chartered accountancy course.

"This also shows that the government system is so vulnerable. We will take it up with the government," Agarwal added.
The Mumbai Police, said that they found that Ambani's account was also fraudulently accessed from Noida. This investigation led them to Vishal Kaushal Company, an accountancy firm in Noida, from where another CA student Sanchit Katiyal had hacked into Ambani's account. Katiyal, who is undergoing his Article-ship, was booked by the cyber crime cell on September 16, and his computer and hard disks were seized.

With the two cases of illegal access of I-T returns of eminent personalities by CA students, the accounting regulator, ICAI, has said that it will take strict action against the students and cancel their Article-ship if found guilty.

Friends I already informed you not to get focused into social network in the negative way. Being a professional behave like a professional. We are nothing to do with their IT accounts. These all have been done through enthusiasm only....but its not legal right....??? So, if you are that enthusiastic do well in exams and become a well known Chartered Accountant so that you may get the Chance of Filing their IT returns legally instead of Hacking thing in a positive way.....
Think wise.... Act wise.......
