Liability of tax evasions using names of family members


03-May-2023 (In Tax Law)
My father, a business man, used to file false ITRs (Income Tax Returns) in the name of all the family members. Can it arouse a liability (legal notice in the name of other family members) in the future? Whose liability will be that?

Yes , Filling wrong incometax return is the legally prohibitted under income Tax act 1961. You family member individually would be responsible to file a wrong return to the income tax department. As assessing office could make a fine and penalties on the individual assesse for filling wrong rerurn.
