Is 133(6) an assessment?

No. It's a request for information, but your answer can decide whether further proceedings start, so answer carefully and completely.

What if the transaction isn't mine?

Say so clearly and give any supporting evidence. Information reported by banks can sometimes be wrongly linked to a PAN.
