No,
If the demand is genuine then it has to be accepted. Lack of records on our part cannot be considered as a reason for non acceptance of a demand.
sending notice for demand is to inform you about it
and tell u to take action about it as early as possible otherwise
they will received their tax liability by the way of
blocking ur bank account or Attaching Assets
and now a days income tax 24 hrs on line
they send u notice on line also and assume that u
have received
so act immediately after u come to know about notice of demand

Thank you for your response! But in this case, the intimation does not provide the reason or calculations for arriving at such demand outstanding amount. Hence, I am not able to assess the genuineness of the demand!
Although I have a theory! In the ITR V pertaining to the AY 2012-13 I can see a tax payable of Rs 19420, which is usually not the case as we are supposed to pay self assessment tax and square it off. I don't even understand how the return was filed in the first place. Now I feel that it is the same amount plus some interest (Rs 21900-demand amt) that is being demanded without any explanations! What should I do? Looking forward to your response!
