HI All,
My cousin is MALLB. She married 8 years ago.She had taken "certificate of practice" before few days of getting married. After marriage , she got involved in daily chores of family life and did not practiced at all.All of sudden yesterday she got a call from her mother that she has received a notice from income tax department. The notice to show cause why a panalty of rs 5/20 rs per day of delay should not be imposed for not taking "enrolment/registration" certificate.
As mentioned, she is housewife and never practiced. She is embarrassed as being qualified , she does not know about what is the provision about enrollment.
What is to be done? what is the option left for her. what reply she should give to notice?
She is going to surrender the practice certificate this week.

Notice regarding professional Tax. If she is not practicing as an advocate, it is not attracted. Replay the notice and establish she is not practicing
