Discrepancy in it refund being adjusted against previous yrs

Now a days many assesses are facing same problem. For your problem we have to first of all verify previous years calculations & if found everything correct then we can proceed further. Write a letter to AO quoting your PAN and all information relating to previous years for which arrears is shown. Regards, CA Mahavir Shah Email : camahavir.shah @ gmail.com

Hello Mr, Shah

Could you suggest me how do I write to the AO? Does he have an email id?

Thanks,

Its just a simple letter quoting your PAN, Ward/ Circle, Details of Arrears of Demand,Copy of Statement of Incomes, Details of Tax deposited etc. Also also submit self certified copies of all this documents along with letter. Submit this letter to Aaykar Seva Kendra (ASK)in your City or in absence of that submit it directly to the Jurisdictional A.O.

	Hi I was expecting a refund of IT for assessment year 2012-13. Recently, I received a mail from CPC, Bangalore that the refund determined is being adjusted against outstanding demands from previous years (2008, 09 and 2010) under section 1431a! The Tax calculation in the previous years have been upto date and there has been no need for additional payments required for me as per the assessment acknowledgements. So, I dont understand how suddenly IT dept finds a discrepancy when the due is on their side. I followed some of the forums here, which suggests visiting the AO might solve the problem. I have no idea what an AO means and where the great chap sit? To add to my woes, I am out of India at the moment and need to settle the discrepancies within 30 days of receiving my email, which obviously is not feasible for me for a personal visit to AO. Any help will be useful. THanks in advance. Subrat

Same thing happened with me. On demanding refund for year 2012-2013 they send mail last week stating my amount is adjusted against outstanding amount of 50500/- for year 2008. I dont understand were they sleeping these years. 

I think its a new techtique being used for those who are demaning their hard earned money. As if they do so than they will end up in giving visits to their offices. Even I am not sure if I can waste time in circulating offices and waiting in que's...

Nice...

Rishi, I can understand your frustration and hardship.

But I would advise you to write Detailed Letter, giving explaination whether earlier return was processed by local office or CPC and submit the same to Aaykar Seva Kendra (ASK) in your city.

Also meet AO along with the same letter and explain what actually happened, you will get your complaint resolved.

Or One more option is that you give this work to Chartered Accountant who will handle your case on your behalf but of course he will charge for that.
