07 August 2011 You cannot file returns for the last 5 years as Returns can be filed only for the last 2 years.

You can give 15H to the Bank without filing the return, if you have PAN No.

07 August 2011 Department can take action only if you have taxable income. If you not submitted returns for last 5 years then there is no problem in giving form No. 15H.

Now, you prepare your returns for last 5 years, pay the taxers if any due and file all the returns in physical form before department takes any action. It might be possible that department may not take any action but from your side you have cleared all the taxes

07 August 2011 But Sir,is it necessary to fill bank fixed deposit information in form 15H which is to be submitted at post office or I should fill the only information about my deposits in post office in 15H form to be submitted at post office? whether post office require the information for that particular year or for many previous years in that 15H form?

07 August 2011 As far as filing of returns, seems Ashwani Ji's view is correct.
Regarding form 15H, it should be submitted year wise and depositee wise meaning thereby in PO give PO deposit details only and in bank, fill up bank deposit particulars only. Pl remember to attach copy of PAN card also with every form 15H.
