I received summons notice from Income tax department. CA asking 5 lakh
I have all the evidence and traces of my trades from the original source of income. When I contacted local CA and they are asking 5 lakh rupees to represent behalf of me.
All ITR's I am self filed since 2018 and paid taxes. But, I realized now I should have filed the forms professionally as I never declared my crypto holdings but paid taxes whenever I cashed out.
So, I am not sure whether I should let CA represent me or take all the documents as evidence that I have and visit in person. I have only few days left. Have anyone of you experienced this or gone thru this?
Since past few days I am thinking a lot and stressed about it. I am thinking every imaginable negative thing like will they be corrupt? do they ask bribes? do they complicate it and so on.
I have all the transaction record from the beginning. I am just skeptical how it goes.
