CBDT Notifies "Nature Of Business Relationship" That CA Can Have To Be Eligible To Act As "Authorized Representative"
Section 288 regulates the appearance by "authorized representatives" before any income-tax authority or the Appellate Tribunal. Sub-clause (viii) of the Explanation below s. 288(2), as amended by the Finance Act 2015, provides that a chartered accountant is eligible to be an "authorized representative" provided he is not "a person who, whether directly or indirectly, has business relationship with the assessee of such nature as may be prescribed". The CBDT has now issued a Notification dated 24.06.2015 to insert Rule 51A and to define the nature of "business relationship" which is covered by sub-clause (viii) of Explanation below sub-section (2) of section 288 of the Act.
