Quick Summary

If you've received an Income Tax Return notice because your Form 26AS shows TDS deductions under specific sections (like 194JB for article income), you likely filed the wrong form. ITR-1 is not appropriate for this type of income. The recommended solution is to file a new return using ITR-4, which accommodates these income sources. You do not need to respond to the notice itself.

The Notice:
You have filed your income-tax return in form ITR-1. As per TDS details in your Form 26AS, taxes have been deducted under sections 194IA/194IC/194M/194S/194C/194B/194BB/194BA, etc. of the Income-tax Act, 1961. These sections are reflected as (4IA/4IC/94M/94S/94C/94B/4BB/4BA) in Form 26AS. These sections imply heads of income for which form no. ITR-1 is not the appropriate form. Thus, the required schedules for reporting incomes pertaining to said TDS sections are not present in your return of income filed in form no. ITR-1.
