Subsequently, in the recovery proceedings, the AO came to know that assessee has also sold three properties and not declared the same for tax and also leased out a property at Gurgaon with monthly rent of Rs. 8 lakhs. Based on the above information, he brought to the notice of the ld. PCIT by filing a letter even though the letter was captioned as a proposal u/s 263 of the Act.
