This is with reference to IT Dept notice "Compliance of Non-filers Monitoring System (NMS)" for AY 15-16.
I would like to furnish the following details and request our learned expert to suggest further course of action.
1) I have not filled IT Return for AY 15-16 as i am NRI (Since 15 June 2014) 2) Employer have deducted tax for the month of April 14 and May 14 (Rs 3440) for income from salary of Rs. 104000. 3) TDS (saving account) is deducted for AY 15-16 (Rs 5119) for income from interest of Rs 50974.
From the above details it is evident that NO TAX is payable for the said AY.
Kindly confirm can i now claim TAX RETURN of (3440 + 5119 = Rs 8559) as my total income in India is only Rs. 154974.
Shall I fill the ITR with TAX RETURN or WITHOUT TAX RETURN... PLEASE SUGGEST
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Dear Anonymous,
A.Y. 15-16 is well within the time period of filing return I.e. till 31.03.17.
I'd recommend you to file the return claiming refund of tax paid. Be sure to show the status as non resident. In case of further queries do post here or you can consult a professional in this respect. the income from interest which you mentioned earlier on which tax is deducted can be interest on FD and not saving account interest.
