Hello,

if my CA mentions cash sale( above 2 lakhs) and pan no (let's assume it 12345) with them In my files.

Can the income tax department track this transaction just by the pan no (12345) without opening my files.

how? ( doubt is how do they track the cash transactions excluding bank transactions by the pan no)
