I have recieved an email with the subject "Communication on Arrear Demand". it says it is for AY 2008, which would technically mean FY 2007-08. I had filled for the returns and I am a salaried individual without any other source of income. It doesnot give any detail eacept that the deamnd amount is showing as Rs. 77033. What can I do in this case this is almost the double amount of the tax that is deducted at source by my company. I have checked form 26A also but even that does not show anything apyable by me.

You should ask for the copy of the intimation under sectiobn 143(1) from your jurisdictional assessing officer and verify the demand. It may happen that your employer did not filed correct tds return and as such the demand arose.

Thanks for the reply. what I was wondering is that when I checked the Form 26A, the TDS is same as given in my Form16.
Can this error still happen and also if the employer hasnn't filed the tax correctly what options do I have.

If your employer didn't perform his duty well then he is also liable for penalty but basic duty vests in you to file proper tax upon your income shown in your ITR.
