16 June 2009 AO can issue notice u/s 142(1)(i) to the person who has not yet filed his return of income within due date or before the end of relevant AY.Now, if u have already filed the return of AY:2006-2007 then u may reply the AO that we have already filed this return vide ack.no.....dated.....so treat this return filed u/s 142(1).

However, for assesses who have already filed their returns, AO may ask the assessee to produce such accounts OR documents as he may require u/s 142(1)(ii). In your case, if u have already filed ur returns then u must have filed ur Form 16 with your returns except for A.Y.2008-2009. So, u should reply the AO that we have already filed the Form 16 with returns.
