Got notice from income tax office , how to respond

Dear Josh:

Nothing to worry since you are filing your returns in Chennai. Anyway, you send a reply to the notice explaining him the facts along with a copy of the Income Tax  return for the assessment year in question. Also, copy of the notice sent by the ITO must be enclosed along with your reply. . If you have friends or family in Mumbai ask them to visit the concerned Tax office and file the reply in person in the Inward section and obtain an acknowledgement. In case there is no one who can do it for you at Mumbai, I suggest you send the reply  as a registered Acknowledge ment Due post, Don't send it by courier. The notice sent to you is routine and hence no need to panic. I advise that you must have your address changed in the Income Tax records for change in the current address by filing a 49 A for correction in data. This will suffice the matter.

Thanks Vishal for the reply and suggestions.I will follow your instructions.

Regards

Josh

My pleasure

Dear Josh

What A V Vishal has suggested is quite sufficient, but you have not quoted the section under which the said notice has benn furnished by the Income Tax  Department. we have to take into consideration the post consequences of laps of time period. please furnish in detail if possible.

The notice is served under  SECTION 142(1) OF THE INCOME TAX ACT,1961.

I have already sent the copy of the return for AY 2005-2006 along with the copy of the notice today by speed post -acknowledgment.

Thanks

Prashant

Mr Gupta:

I think that it is a clear case of routine correspondence by the department. The assessee has stated clearly that he has applied for a PAN in Mumbai and since 2004 he is working at Chennai. Probably he was filing his return at Mumbai. Since the assessee has not filed in Mumbai the computer has recognised and sent a routine letter u/s. 142 asking to comply with the statutory requirement unless the Assessee has contracted any transaction under AIR(Annual Information Report). There is no consequences of lapse of time period.

Dear Mr Vishal

what you are saying is correct , ofcourse may it be a year ending process.
