For Blank F-

Answer & solution

  • A

    purchaser

  • B

    victim

  • C

    investor

  • offender

Solution

The person who does not file his or her IT returns becomes an offender. He is neither an investor (option 3) in Income tax nor is he a purchaser (option 1). Since, it is Ramesh’s fault (by not filing his IT returns), he does not become a victim (option 2).
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
