Audit will continue legally. Do not be victim of of 'the trap of words'. It is seen often High Court of any State strikes down CE Rules or Service Tax Rules. In spite of that the department continues as per law (Before being struck down) and thereafter, remedial measures are taken retrospectively. So get your audit conducted as usual. You will not get anything by challenging such letters of audit. No confrontation with the department is advised. This is practical advice.

Rest decision is yours.

Sir, during one of the audit I involved in, I observed that when assessee takes time in submitting the documents then the Auditor suspects the act of the assessee and as such the auditor insist to produce that document first. Therefore it is better not to create any such image by objecting audit unless out of law. Thanks.
