If you're receiving unwanted SMS and email alerts about Form 140 TDS filings for a company you no longer work for, it's because your contact details are still listed on their tax profile. To stop these notifications, you need to contact your previous employer's HR or Finance department. Request them to update the 'Details of Person Responsible for Deduction' on their TDS filing utility or TRACES profile to the current employee handling tax matters.

Because the alerts are triggered by the company's official tax profile, you cannot directly block or remove your details from the Income Tax department's backend yourself. You must request the company or the portal administrator to update the contact details. Reach out to the HR or Finance/Accounts department of your previous company. Inform them that you are receiving automated alerts stating "Original Form 140 filed for the TAN..." because your mobile number or email ID is still listed under the "Details of Person Responsible for Deduction" in their TDS filing utility or TRACES profile. Ask their tax team to update the authorized person's contact information to the current employee in charge.
