Tax demand and tax filing for ay2011-12 or prior

30 June 2016

Dear Members,

I received a Tax Demand for the AY2011-12. But the same amount is deducted at source. The Form 16, Form 26AS (Tax Credit) and Tax Acknowledgement (Hard Copy) clearly says the same.

When I raised a grievance for this concern. The reply was "Income tax return for the AY:2011-12 has not been filed with CPC. Hence, please contact your jurisdictional assessing officer on further clarifications.". I am not sure whether Tax Filing with CPC was existing during that period.

My questions here are:

1. How will I File Tax with CPC for AY2011-12. That option is not present?

2. How will I get the demand closed?

Thanks for your patience to read my concern. Expecting your valuable answers to solve this issue.

Best Regards,

Shibin Varghese

Thanks Dinesh for the reply.

Ok, you have not submitted your income return online,hence, you had received such message.
"Income tax return for the AY:2011-12 has not been filed with CPC. Hence, please contact your jurisdictional assessing officer on further clarifications.". means your record for Ass. Year 2011-12 is availble at Income Tax Office not at CPC
1. You are not required to submit your income tax return for Ass. Year 2011-12 again.
2. to remove demand, you have to consider following step.
a. you have recevice damand notice form local Jurisdiction i.e Income tax officer (ITO), income tax office, Ward/Circle/District........
b. submit a application/letter to income tax officer (who issued such demand) showing all ther information regarding total income and mode of tax payment (i.e payment has been paid through TDS) alongwith From No 16, Form 26AS, requesting to drop the demand.
3. if total amount has been paid and there is no outstanding demand, department will remove the demand raised after receiving all evidences (form 16, form 26AS etc.)

I have sent an email to AO with Form 16, 26AS, Tax Acknowledgement. The contact details I got from Know your AO link.

Is this enough to remove the demand or do I need to send hard copies to AO or CPC.

You have send all information through mail....ok
is your income tax account showing pending demand.......??????
if yes, then you have to confirm that your email has been properly acknowledged or not

I did not receive any acknowledgement for the email. I am not so sure about how can I make sure that they have acknowledged on my concern. I think I need to check though IT portal on demand status.

Thanks for all your valuable suggestions.

If nothing worked, i may need to send hard copies or go in person.

Hi Dinesh,

I have sent the mail to AO. But there is no response from department and Demand is still open.

Can you suggest something which I can do?

Thanks,

Shibin

in some cases email is not enough way for submission because department receives emails in bulk.
I think you should submit your documents in paper mode and get receipt from department.
after completion of proceeding, department will issue order under section 154
