We prove that for a symmetric complex potential, the probabilities of quantal reflection and transmission of a particle are independent of the direction of incidence of the particle. However, the reflectivity for a nonsymmetric complex potential is found to be sensitive to the direction of incidence of the particle whether it is incident from left or right.
